Blood sugars....

[ummmm]

My Grandad has been very poorly. Yesterday his sugar levels were 22. Today, although he's not eating, they have gone up to 33.3.

He's 87....and bed ridden (by choice)

Does anyone know how this might effect him?

it's heading that way now I think sqad, Bill doesn't drink a lot at all and has ceased cakes, biscuits etc, altogether, he exercises regularly and his weight and BP is perfect for a man of his age...
His Dad was Type 1, is Diabetes hereditary?

[Sqad]

Type 1 may be, but the evidence for type 2 is also stacking up for it to be hereditary.

Our GP wasn't alarmed at the high readings from the strips he uses, but has arranged for a blood test for him
fingers crossed...
sorry u.mmmm
