Patient's question:
Your friend's father has been a diabetic for several years. His blood sugar levels are usually around 8-9. Three weeks ago (January 17, 2010), he was admitted to the People's Hospital of Rudong County, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province due to a traumatic brain injury and left frontal skull base fracture. After admission, he did not undergo surgery. The doctor recommended conservative treatment, and the family members mentioned that the patient has diabetes. However, they discovered that the doctor was administering 5% glucose drips daily (between 500-750 ML). After one week of treatment (on the 25th), the patient's condition improved, he could speak and eat normally, and was able to get out of bed with the help of his family. A brain CT scan showed no major issues, and the doctor said he could be discharged in two days to return home for the New Year. But unexpectedly...Doctor's answer:
Hello, in a stressful state, blood sugar levels rise. The patient's significantly elevated blood sugar is directly related to trauma. For diabetic patients receiving glucose injection, insulin must be added to counteract it.Hello, whether it's fasting blood sugar or post-meal blood sugar, reaching 22 is within the diagnostic range for diabetes. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. At the same time, avoid adding sugar-containing foods to your child's diet. Wishing you good health.
