[QUOTE="Bufger, post: 738208, member: 149689"] From personal experience (same start weight and eating pattern) he needs to want to do this. It sounds as if he's not taking diabetes seriously or he's depressed\in denial. Insulin is just one more thing to remember and regulate but equally important are meal times and what you eat and regular blood sugar checks. He needs to research and see the consequence of his denial. Does he like computer games and movies? Show him how common retinopathy is in people with diabetes. In terms of the insulin regime they'll set him on a standard routine and adjust from there don't expect it to work straight away. He will probably experience minor hypo like symptoms when his levels reach 4-6 if he's been running high for a long time. [/QUOTE]
