Morning
Just have a question relating to my Dad's Type 2 diabetes. He's just been in hospital (for a unrelated reasons) and had his blood sugar checked regularly. They woke him up in the middle of the night one time because his blood sugar was very low (don't know what number) and they made him eat a yoghurt type thing to bring levels up . The following morning they were concerned he was too low again (4.7) so before discharging they took it again and it was 11. They were happy with this! I happened to be there and said blimey if mine was 11 I would be worried. I asked what is considered a "normal range" and the nurse said 5-15. I was surprised at the top level being as high as 15!
Has anyone else been told something similar from the NHS?
Thanks
PS He's back home now
