[QUOTE="wiflib, post: 46439, member: 8588"] Well, you may just be right. My dad had his surgery and things were not good for quite some time. He spent some time on CICU where they struggled to extubate him. His kidneys ceased functioning and of course, picked up a nasty infection. He is much better now and has been transferred to his local hospital. One of my nephews, a lovely, supportive and worried man, spent ten days by his side, caring for him. I went down to see him on Friday, whereupon, he picked my brains about the uncontrolled diabetes dad is suffering and we got into a conversation about carbs and insulin. Now, Steve is an intelligent and inquisitive man but has not had the education he was entitled to. He understood completely. The next day, he approached one of the nurses on the ward to ask more questions and to ask why dads carb intake has not been considered in managing his diabetes and she positively beamed at him. They launched into a discussion and she promptly gave him this web address. Understanding how carbs affect BS is slowly being recognised by some HCPs. Steve was overjoyed that someone understood. If that nurse is reading this, thank you for taking care of my dad and all the other patients on the ward and having the intelligence to open your mind. wiflib [/QUOTE]
