[QUOTE="cookie1, post: 2292156, member: 242480"] Hi all, Dad 87 has over the last 6 months lost control of his diabetes, he just been diagnosed with AF and blocked arteries of the neck, one full the other part full. He has been constantly tired going back to bed. I've fitted him with the freestyle sensor to monitor his bloods as he confessed to only testing 2 a week, he taking novomix 30, 30 units in the morning and 30 units at night. We saw the doctor today as some of his readings in the afternoons were as high 16 to 23, the doctor seems to think this is perfectly okay for a 87 year old man and prefer to be higher than lower. I'm really confused as I would have thought this is being in the hyper state nearing ketosis and can't be good for you. Can anyone explain the insulin resistance and insulin usage. I've called the hospital to get an appointment with the nurse but not till 14 August. Really confused. [/QUOTE]
