Hi Thank you for responding. Yes Dad is in an Indonesian Prison, we have Insulin purchased from a Charity in the UK, however the Potency of this Insulin is questionable due to his consistently high BG readings. We are in the process of getting this improved and making sure the purchasing and...

Hello John My Father has Diabetes Type 1 and he is suffering many complications with controlling his condition, I am doing my best to help him because he does not access to any Diabetes knowledge of Health team and the CellNovo system looks like a perfect for him. Where can I get one of these...

Yeh I don't really like cereal myself but any food will do at the min that's quick, had a good few hours sleep so have been contacting anyone else I can think of to see if they can help in any way. Readings were taken this morning before clinic was closed and they were both High still, he still...

Yes he is doing well to get through this so far, with us being miles apart it's really hard to monitor this and help him. The Prison Clinic will now be closed until Monday, so we can't get any readings now, I am keeping on at the authorities because if I don't they just ignore and hope I go away...

Hi , Yes I am doing all I can to help him, but as it's now weekend they are very reluctant to help. The lifestyle is very different in Indonesia, and not much care is given to prisoners and the health facilities they have for prisoners will be closed until Monday. I have urged FCO to get someone...

We will have to just sit it out until the morning now, my Dad is relaying the information to me as I am the only one that helps him through his situation and anything he needs really. Thank's for your concern I have told Dad to try his best to keep hydrated and I have contacted all authorities...

Hi LadyBird64 Yes he is a Type 1, he has accessed a new pen this morning, but his glucose reading was in the 30+ region I don't feel just a stick of insulin and a glucose test is going to fix him, he needs hospital, the FCO are not taking me serious at all! Thanks for your concern, I really...

UPDATE ** Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts everyone that responded to this today, you have all provided lots of much needed guidance and support, everything that you have all done today has played a massive part in me, helping my Father and getting me through today with your...

Hi Cathn61may, thank you for your response to this thread, we really appreciate all the help we can get on this. At the minute I think all he can do is take it easy, maybe brisk walk if that, I have had some advice today regarding Dads health and the readings we have for him, hopefully we will...

Thank you Catherine, I shall check that out now. Hollie x

Hi Diabell Yes he has always maintained his Diabetes himself, but as he has got older his memory and mental state has declined, so he needs alot of prompting and encouragement. I dont think he has seen anyone from the Professional world of Diabetes for many years, I have his medical records...
