Message: <blockquote data-quote="hanadr" data-source="post: 122908" data-attributes="member: 8110">I suffeed a stroke in 2003 and my Bg in hospital was astronomical. Not at all helped by the "diabetic diet" I was given. I didn't know as much then and ate is in blind confidence that the hospital staff knew what they were doing :shock:  What kind of stroke did he suffer, was it a bleed or ischaemic? I have worked very hard with exercise to get myself fairly right. I have a little impairment, but not much. I'm sometimes asked if I had a TIA, because I'm not very disabled., but No it was an ischaemic stroke.Tight BG control and exercise to help the muscles of my left side have been the best things for me. Is your father managing his own blood sugar in the hospital? and if not, could he? because I think that ward staff often haven't a clue. EG they caused a panic, when my daughter, admitted for pancreatitis, had a bg of 3.5. definitely nothing to worry about under the circumstances.</blockquote>
