Hi there.
I am a type 1 diabetic have been for nearly 5 years.
Im writing this as i need advice regarding my 18 year old daughter.
She has had quite a few things happen to her this past month or so.Firstly she was rushed into hospital with pains and it ended up being a cyst on her ovary, she had keyhole surgery and this was removed.
Then a week ago she woke in the morning with a numb tongue and the right side of her face was paralysed, straight to hospital and was told Bells Palsy. She is taking 10 steroid tablets for 10 days so has 3 days left. During this month her sugar dropped to 3.7 (worked all week and was missing meals ) but then today we went for fish and chips and ice cream at the seaside so ate the last thing at 2.40pm. She went to work for 4 then i went to see her about 6.30 checked her sugar and it was 10.3! is this normal for a non diabetic?? The paramedic said the 3.7 was fine for her if she hasnt been eating properly so thought nothing more of it until this evening with the 10.3. I am the only one with diabetes in the family. Just concerned.
