[QUOTE="slaxxfb, post: 1882937, member: 489930"] i'm def not an expert on this but if one says "on the high side" but "acceptable" i would assume something along the range of 140-170 mg/dl (7.5-10 mmol) and rather stable in that range. if he has been refused surgery i suppose the hospital does think that his current BSLs are too high. i think it would be advisable to have a more knowledgeable nurse too, who could carb count his meals and check his reactions to his meds. hba1c would be informative of his overall diabetic status as it is the average of 3mos worth of BSLs. all the best for you and your dad.
