I'm sorry I'm late responding to this...again. Yes, blood sugar should read below 7 first thing in the morning and between 7 and 10 after eating.....anything above 10 is concidered unacceptable. My readings have been creeping up so I need to see my doctor soon.
Jamie, please tell Lori not to stress, because that raises blood sugar. She needs to be calm and concentrate on healing herself. I'm confused though. Why are they taking blood from her arms?? I know the IV goes in the arm but usually they will prick a finger to test blood sugar...at least that's what they did when I was in hospital for my cancer surgery. An alternative is to take it from the IV in which case there is only one entry site from the IV. 
Mega prayers coming out to you and Lori. Is there any way you could print off this thread and take it to her?? That way she would know how loved she is all around the world.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
