The elevated glucose finding, coupled with the extremely low potassium level (< 2.0) actually tends to support the eating disorder position rather than suggest "other possibilities"

Of course, we'll just ignore the nurses testimony that claimed he may have been shooting her up with insulin to raise her sugar level. The insulin bottles found in the trash just "miraculously appeared" out of no where, I guess.

Insulin doesn't raise blood sugar. It does just the opposite. An overdose of insulin would cause a very low blood sugar level.

Insulin lowers glucose.

I suspect the high glucose was due to an iv of dextrose given by the paramedics.

One low potassium does not make a person a bulimic. And women lose weight all the time to look better and they are not bulimics in the usual cases. She may have been but there is no proof. I think they used this as a way to sue her gyn,,saying the gyn should have known it. That was the only way MS could sue.
