My mother in law is 64. Has been a diabetic, insuling dependent for several years. Last year at the same time my father in law went through cancer surgery and death, she was diagnosed with ESRD.
She was on HD for a while at first. She is now on Peritoneal Dialysis. She has had two recent episodes where we have had to call the paramedics because her blood sugar dropped-once it was 44 and in the same week it was 25. She went to the MD today and he switched her kind of insulin. Immediately following she went to see renal doctor who said dont do insulin at all and lets see what happens. She also has very low blood pressure-sometimes not readable by the home monitor. Any ideas? She is sick more than she is well, no energy, vomits, has severe back pain. We wish we could help her...she wants to do everything herself but we aren't sure this is working. Doctors don't seem to be a lot of help. Any advice even on where to look for answers.
Thanks for any response.

I am going to move your post and question to the PD experts, on the PD page. My knowledge of PD is basic, and I am afraid that I can not answer this question.

Please let me know how things turn out for you.
