[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 1891358, member: 472744"] Hello Phyllis, welcome to the forum. Normally too high insulin might cause confusion, if someone has a hypo, and too low blood sugar, but I can't see why reducing the insulin would cause him to be confused. I googled confusion and infection, just to see if it might be that, in the elderly an infection can, apparently, cause delirium, but also, and this seems more likely, according to google, some antibiotics can sometimes cause delirium, or confusion. That might be a more likely cause than lowering the insulin, I would guess, but I'm only guessing. It might be worth checking to see if the antibiotics he took might cause temporary confusion.
