The Boy is apparently suffering, not from high blood sugar, but from severe dehydration.

Home glucometers kind of rely on a certain level of flow and dilution in the capillaries to get the correct reading.  Since as you get more dehydrated, capillary flow is retarded, blood chemicals like the enzymes that note high blood sugar collect in the extremities, like finger tips where you draw the blood for a home glucometer.

At the emergency room, he took two bags of saline and reported that he felt much better.

Now all we need is a solution to our horse being led to water and refusing to drink.

    Not sure what his aversion is, but lots of companies are making those flavor concentrates that you squirt into your glass and top off with water a voila quick, easy yummy and calorie-free beverage!

    Also not sure of his interests or motivations, but I personally get a HUGE amount of joy from using crazy shaped ice cube trays to make badass ice for my various beverages, soft and otherwise.

    Having good quality ice makes for a powerful desire to use it.

    Just shooting from the hip because I don't have the pleasure of knowing your fine son.
