    They haven't suggested any kind of study on him since the first time we discovered he was diabetic, back in October.

    I am surprized they have not run an all day glucose curve (testing every couple of hours). That is what they did for my Y.Lee (the only experience I've had with diabetes).

    They only did that once, and that was the first time in October when he tested as diabetic, and we started at 1 unit in the AM and 2 units in the PM. Nothing since then. I was wondering if they'd want to do that again as well. I can ask Dr. Hess/Dr. Fanelli the next time I go in I guess.

    We're up to 6 units, twice a day.

    I am actually surprised if his levels were always that high that they started with 1 unit. Morgan's initial reading was around 370, I think. He started at 8 units once a day. Then when that wasn't working, we went to 5 units twice a day and then worked our way down from there.

    We've just been going up and up.

    Jenn, I'm sorry to hear this. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
