    Oh dear! Good thing you checked it and now you can take action before it gets out of control.

    I'm praying for you both, I recently found out I am diabetic. Although I don't stick to it all the time, I have found my blood sugar is at its lowest when I stick to a low carb diet. (Mainly meats, salads and green vegetables). I also use Splenda in place of sugar and drink diet sodas. If you plan on doing baking this holiday season use Splenda For Baking or make your own by combining regular Splenda with sugar. Splenda has also come out with a brown sugar Splenda.

    Catch it now, and he will be a healthy man, keeping it under control. Sounds like you two are a great team.
    Prayers going up!

    Oh no, Hope it was just a one off thing, however if he does have diabetes then you are catching it early which is great and he can get the right treatment.
    My DH is insulin dependant, his brothers have it and both his parents had/have it. I worry about my kids and I use clinistix every so often to check DD glucose/ketone levels.

    Good Luck, I hope it was nothing

    I think he needs some more tests from the dr, and he is definitely heading in that direction.
