This afternoon was the follow up trip to see the nephrologist because of the spiking glucose on his previous blood test. She had the results of the blood test he had last week and his glucose is normal which is lower than it has been since the doc has been with the Palo Alto Medical Clinic. Before the spike his blood sugar had been flat but a bit above normal. So no diabetes.
The bad news was that he lost another 2 pounds. So the doc said to add another Glucerna and nuts to his diet (to try to gain back some of the weight he has lost). An extra Glucerna (Ensure for diabetics - only 6 grams of sugar vs 23 grams of sugar) will add 250 calories a day and nuts should add a few more calories.
Also, he seems to be getting soome of his energy back. We took a walk yesterday morning before it got too warm.
