[ Original Post ]
First off i will say a big HELLO.
I am Cheryl and mum to 8 year old Harry.
I am a member of U.K Parent's but i have heard through the grapevine that you are a great bunch on here,and willing to give advice when needed.
So here goes!

My best friend's mother had a stroke last spring/summer,she recovered from it very well.Infact when i saw her a few week's ago you wouldnt even have thought that she had,had a stroke.

Well yesterday morning,my friend noticed that her mother's speech was all over the place and she said that she was not making much sense.

My friend starting ringing NHS direct ,she heard a loud thud and went to check on her mother.
She found her lying on the floor with a big cut to the back of her head(she caught her head on the kitchen side as she fell)my friend called a ambulance.
They rushed her into hospital.
She is now in ICU they say that she is in a diabetic coma and she has a 50/50 chance.

She has had a ct scan to look for any bleed's on her brain and her sugar level's are 67.
We were unaware that she was diabetic,the doctor has said that she developed it in the last month or so.

I think what i am asking is do any of you know what her chance's of recovering may be that is if any of you have ahd any experence with diabetics.

She is not breathing on her own,a machine is doing that for her.

I am so sorry about your friends mom, my mom has type 2 diabeties but she hasnt ever had a stroke or any real problems with it. But 67 is low but not severly low, normal is between 90 to 120. My mothers is always high so I dont know what type of problems occur from being low. Is the hospital giving her anything with sugar in it to bring it up? If not sneak her a candy bar or something maybe even a soda. But nothing to to sweet so that way she doesnt go high. I hope your friends mother is going to be ok. I will pray for her. Good luck Sweety.

Sorry I have no advice either. My prayers go out to you and the family. Hopefully she recovers on her own. Good luck.

My friend has been a diabetic for a number of years and has ended up in hospital quite a few times with her sugar levels being to HIGH not too low...So I've no idea either....

What bad luck to have a stroke and then develop diabetes...
