Hi there I've found this forum whilst looking for some advice about my Dad. He has secondary cancer and is still at home but am worried as his blood sugar levels seem high. He is on steroids (dexamethasone 3xdaily) and has not been diagnosed with db but the level is 24.5 and he can't face eating anything. He has had a large glass of rum n coke and I've just taken a second one off him. He has agreed the levels are high but won't let me seek medical advice. He has eaten very little today - bowl of cereal about 11am, small prawn cocktail about 4pm and a mouthful of pork steak and a chip at 7pm. He seems to be drinking milk excessively and milky coffee and I wonder how I can get the levels down? He has gone to bed cause he says he's tired and has now got some water to drink. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
