Mrs. D. God, I wish I had your brains!!!

I will ask Alan if he will let me do the fasting all night and giving him the 50 grms of glucose pills and monitoring him over the 4 hours.
Exactly what does "monitoring him mean". I give him a lot of glucose pills, then take his sugar every hour and after 4 hours I will have 4 readings.

Is this what you mean? So if he gets up at 8:30 a.m., I take his sugar, give him all the glucose tablets, and take his reading at 9 30, 10 30 and then 11 30a.m.

Then post the readings on the board. Is that okay? (that is if he willing to do this).

Oh, instead of the glucose pills, we have this Tropicana drink that has 30 grams of sugar. Can I give him an 8 oz glass and two glucose pills. Would that be the same thing?

thanks,
Melody
