Does he eat gluten free bread? You can make PB&J sandwiches and freeze them. He can microwave them for a bit to thaw them out if he wants. Easy to make ahead and grab!

They make an excellent, filling snack for nursing moms.

In case no one noticed I forgot the sugar in the original recipe. I went back to edit it. So if you already made them, I am sorry. If not then please add the sugar to your recipe (or make them without and tell me how they turn out

)

Has he had his blood sugar checked? The smell he gets is concerning.

No. But that's a good point. It is not a sweet smell it smells like he has a sinus infection. He's a very thin person (6'4" and 150-160) his whole family runs thin his brothers are the exact same size, I think the smell is because he literally has no fat resources and when he doesn't eat enough his body goes into starvation/ die off mode.

But I hadn't thought about blood sugar issues, I will bring that up to him and do some research.

Smoothies or a vegan protein shake. I have to eat frequently and found drinking my calories helpful when I am busy.

I would assume the smell is ketones, though it might not be. Ketosis happens when you don't get enough carbs. Burning protein and/or fat in the absence of carbs causes the production of ketones as a byproduct. This can happen when not enough carbs are consumed or when they can't get into the cells due to lack of insulin (type 1 diabetes) or ineffectiveness of insulin (type 2 diabetes).

So do you think it is concerning when he is obviously not eating enough/skipping meals because he is too busy and doesn't want to stop to eat? I mean could it still be diabetes if he's obviously not getting enough calories?

Today we talked about how he isn't taking care of himself, and about some things I can keep on hand to eat, but that *he* needs to do it and stay on top of it because 1) it isn't good for his body. 2)he smells awful until he eats and it seriously bugs me. And 3) he is an adult and I don't need another kid, I'm already feeding 4 multiple times a day and 1 around the clock.

I can get a glucometer pretty easily, would it be advisable to check his bloodbsugars for a few days?

Will he go in and tell them this? They will immediately do a finger prick and A1c.

I bought 100 test strips from amazon for $17 and a very cheap meter. It was recommended by someone with diabetes. Accurate.

will he use magnesium oil for the stink?

ShangriLewis · 07-18-2016, 11:23 PM

I wouldn't buy a meter. I would insist and make an appointment or drop him at the ER.

ValiantJoy07 · 07-19-2016, 11:48 AM

He could go to the cvs minute clinic to be checked. We don't have traditional health insurance and he's not subscribed with our DPCP. but I really don't think he has diabetes,

my gut says it is just simply not eating enough/often enough. He's fine the days he eats 3/suare meals a day with snacks. He has had this off and on for years and in 2010 I did make him go to the doctor to be checked because he was also peeing a lot they sent him for blood work and did a 24hour urine catch, everything came back fine. He was drinking primarily black or green tea throughout the day which was causing the frequent bathroom trips. Oh he's also had a runny nose off and on for weeks, it will hit suddenly like an allergy attack so I think that is also contributing to the sinus smell when he's not eating enough.
