[QUOTE="Lorraine1973, post: 1494115, member: 320388"] Thank you. I've always been very factual with my dad regards to his diabetes and always nagging him. This has scared him. Thankfully he is back home now stressing my mum out. He's had an infection in his toe since the beginning of the year, docs put him on various meds to get rid of it but it got to the point where it had to come off. During his stay he was having hypos every morning. Lowest 2.4. Asked the nurses what they where doing about it as I was concerned that a pattern was forming. Have point blankly told my dad repeatedly that if he doesn't look after himself he will end up T1. Have recommended loads of stuff to him till I'm Blue in the face. I think his depression was due to the pain he was in as he does seem a lot better in himself now. Fingers crossed that this experience has given him a reality check and bodies do have an expiry date.
