Daughter had her 2nd blood glucose fasting test

Hi All .

My own daughter 27years old today had her 2nd blood glucose fasting test taken.
She has had a viral flu bug and has tested somewhat positive in the first test plus her urine was
very positive for sugar present .

I am a bundle of worry with this news I must admit ...
Her diet is terrible she loves anything and everything "white or beige" :thumbdown:
Never has or will listen to either me, her dad or even her own husband ...
Hates cardboard - as she calls anything brown[bread,pasta,rice etc] and hates plant foods as
she calls spinach, brocolli n other veggies !!!

Often warned her she could end up like me [diabetic ] as it does run in the family.
[me and her dad's father are diabetic]
As I know the road isnt easy and what lies ahead for her - if she is .

Keep feeling queasy with worry and hubby is as worried too .

She herself says she wasnt very suprised - What a kid :shock:
Yep my daughter is my child [kid] even at 27 .

She has a deep fear of needles too and will be worse for this .
She only told us this news last friday after her first test was somewhat positive ?
[whatever this means I am unsure ]

Nurse wants her to have another test to properly confirm .
She had this done this morning at local hospital .

So as we wait - me and her dad worry .
Roll on next friday - we find out then .
Am trying to keep myself busy and not think the worst of things .

Hi All .

Have had her call us [ dad/mum] they want another full fasting glucose test plus urine again ! Why eh?
Next weds - so we are still none the rudddy wiser :?
Its getting a bit annoying now !

She is either sky high or low ... with her BG levels currently.
Every urine test is positive with proteins and sugar present though .

She tells us she gets the shakes if misses her meals etc...
She is 28years old in July this year .

Her diet is quite poor and she likes full sugar pepsi/cola etc...
Use's this as a quick fix if she gets shakey!

Believe me - I have sooooo tried to re-educate her but as I am her mum
she just wont 'listen' to me :crazy:

Her dad can usually talk sense 'into' her [daddy's girl thing!]
She says that she always prefer the taste of proper pepsi or cola .
The other [no sugar] just tastes like watery 'fizz' :shock:
[she always has an answer for her poor diet and food/drink choices!]

Sometimes, I confess that I just 'give up' with her or else she sends me loopy
and I get mad with her, then 'my' blood sugars go 'up' with the stress/worry of her ...

So we are none the wiser nor much further forward on this .
Still we wait :thumbdown:

Thanks for the thoughts and hug too .
Need them today - as feel quite let down as well as baffled
as why? they need another full set of tests!
I even grilled her with you 'did go' last time? as I know she sooooo hates and fears needles .
Have to try and trust her at 27yrs old now even though she is still my [baby] child .

Hi All .

We find out tomorrow morning - what is what - with our daughter :thumbup:
Strangely feeling quite positive I think? [dunno why?]
This may be to do with the fact we have managed to get her set up with a meter and testing kit .
She has only done a couple of tests with it - due to her needle phobia/fear .
Sweats and trembles, whilst plucking up own courage to just stab her finger with the needle!

Any ideas how I can get things 'through' to her without getting angry or mad with her :x

Anna.

Oh Happy Days

Update on our daughter - she is normal for 'now' they have said .
Will continue to test her every 3 months and want to still monitor her levels .

She has to test her blood sugars 3 times a day and try to amend her diet with more healthy
foods .
She has got some glucose piddle sticks to use with her urine .
So can test for protein/glucose in her urine.
[ I got her sorted out with a meter etc, last week as we had been using mine between us initially ]

The DSN says she is soooo close to the "just normal" range - there is still a strong chance she ' will still ' get it
given her poor diet and ways !
I know this - yet am so relieved she has a chance to change/improve things .
It's just HOW to re-educate her without her going mad at 'us' [me and her dad]
Then I get angry at her anger and stubborness to change etc .

Medically the DSN [GP surgery based] and her own GP are willing to keep they're eye on her .
So to keep her checked and ongoing monitored is the best careplan and tactic medically for now .
She is happy to do this and agreed with all that was said too .

Relieved and happy parents her dad and myself :thumbup:
Kids eh - you NEVER stop worrying over them nor loving them ...
