Stroke- rubric? - Update

[Rochelle]

Update to this patient who came with PC of hot flushes and night sweats since she had to come off the HRT because of the stroke is that a couple of doses of Glon 30 as a WP did the trick!! Have told her not to take any more unless they come back but I am now wondering if I should have said this because she has got so much else wrong with her for which she takes 8 lots of medication for diabetes, angina and the stroke- all of which are covered by the Glon. She said this morning that her only problem is the dry mouth which I immediately recognised as a diabetic symptom. She is monitoring her blood sugar for the practice nurse for a few days and her fasting this morning was 10. something, far too high. She doesn't want to go on insulin so I have told her to cut bread, potatoes, rice and pasta for the next few monitoring days and drink loads of green tea. I was surprised when she didn't appear to know that having a meal of baked potato and baked beans, mash, rice and white bread toast with her meals would contribute to the high levels even with the medication she takes!!! AAAAAAh!!!! I also gave her the tip that she should eat fruit with her meal not as a snack between meals. She is now going shopping for oat cakes, peanut butter (without sugar!!) ryvita.
Oooooh its snowing!!! It rarely snows where we live as it is on the coast!!!
