People who know me on this board, also know that my mom has not been in the greatest of health due to having diabetes and a mild stroke back in 2002, well at the moment she is not doing very well and her blood sugar is at 390..which can cause her to have another stroke; she has been taking excellent care of her diet by eating right and exercising but still her blood sugar is dangerously high..
She is the best mom around..caring and loving and just a wonderful human being in general and I love her to death.. :(

I'll pray for your mother. My husband is a diabetic too. It's a terrible disease. I hope they can get her blood sugar down. She's fortunate to have such a loving and devoted daughter. Please keep us posted.

:bighug:

Aww...I'm real sorry about your mom. I hope she comes out of this alright.

I hope your mom will be ok; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I lost my mother on Jan. 16th of this year to colon cancer and
I think about her everyday and miss her terribly. She was the best
mother in the whole world and I love her so very much even though
she's no longer with us.

Thanks Janice and Dustin, that means a lot to me.. :)

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mother three years ago yesterday. I miss her as much today as I did back then. She was my best friend.

Lady T, your mom will be fine. :)

I'll pray for your mom. I'm diabetic also, just recently diagnosed and it's pretty scary. I'm only curious but is she taking any medication or insulin?

Yes she is taking medication..she has been a diabetic for over 30 years and now she is in her 70s..it is very hard for her to control her blood sugar..even though she watches her diet and takes very good care of herself...

My grandmother has that problem too. I really am sorry, and hope your mom feels better.

I am just really scared right now..since her blood sugar is at 390...which is terribly high...

That is really high. My best friend's mother is an insulin dependent diabetic and she was really sick and couldn't keep anything down. She pounded down Gatorade and her sugar shot up over 900! She was very lucky she didn't go into a coma and die.

900 :eek: She is very lucky that she did not have either a massive heart attack or stroke..or just fall into a coma...

I hope she is alright. :)

Spirulina is supposed to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

I would ask your mother's doctor about it.

I hope that can solve the problem.

shell be in my thoughts n prayers

I'm very sorry to hear that. My grandmother is diabetic and it can be frightening when the blood sugar level just shoots way up. I hope she is okay and she will be in my thoughts. :hug:

Your mom is in my prayers.

Your mother is and has been in my prayers Tara. I hope she gets to feeling better real soon. :)

Hey Tara you know that you and your mom are in my prayers. You know that I lost my mom a few years ago and I know how scary it can be. I really hope everything turns out okay.

Thanks to everyone..I am very touched.. :)

:( You know I'm praying for your mom. :bighug:

I'll pray for your mom. Diabetes is a terrible thing. I lost my mother last year she was a diabetic which virtually ruined her health. Hang in there, everything will be alright. :)

I hope she'll get better soon :)

I'm sorry for your pain Tara. :(

I will pray for your Mom. I know the pain of having someone you love with diabetes. My husband has it. He suffers and so do I cause I'm so afraid he will be in a coma or something could happen to him out there in the world beyond. :(

I'm so sorry about that, Tara. :( You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I know how hard it is to see a beloved parent fail. My dad is failing rapidly.(he is 82) It is now just a matter of time(cancer). But he just keeps hanging in there! But he is getting worse. I do know how you feel! :( I sincerely hope that your mom will recover!

I will pray for your mother. I lost mine last fall and it's not fun. :crying:

I'll keep her in my prayers, Tara.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts... :bighug:

I hope your mother will pull through. :bighug:

Prayers to your mom and you in Boston Lady T -

I lost my mom in 1996 after years of bad health (not diabetes though - emphysema, COPD and Crohn's Disease). It's hell on the person and the rest of the family.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Chin Up~

I want to express my gratitude for everyone who has been keeping my mom in their thoughts and in their prayers..She went to the doctor today and they placed her back on insulin..so hopefully this will cause her blood sugar to drop and remain stable... :hug:
