How long is a hospital stay after a stroke?
This question would be best answered by a neurologist. Certainly, the length of time can vary depending on how severe the stroke has been, whether there are complications, and how healthy the person was before the stroke. Typically, certain tests need to be run to determine risk for future strokes, as well as to address the impact of this one. Many people will need to go to rehabilitation facilities following a stroke, but in other cases the effects may be mild or resolve, and that will not be necessary. READ MORE

When sugar readings in the blood are very high (glucose readings, glucose is the form of sugar found in the bloodstream) IV fluids are given as one strategy to help with lowering the blood sugar, but that is a rather different situation and process. It is also only one part of treating a very high glucose. READ MORE
