[QUOTE="StewM, post: 2514868, member: 538114"] My dad is very much a “numbers guy” so a lot of aspects of Diabetes Management came very naturally to him. He would follow guidelines but he wouldn’t simply do something cause he was told to. He’d give everything a chance to work but he’d modify things if they didn’t. He’d also challenge consultants on things he tried and didn’t work. A lot of Doctors didn’t like this, but the Old Staff Nurse thought he was great (even though most patients found her “a bit scary”). Broadly speaking, his methods could be described as rigid moderate Carb cause of the fact I was on Mixed Insulin for the duration of the time he was handling my Diabetes. I guess the main differences between my style of managing my Diabetes and his is I always for ways to make my methods flexible to what life throws at me. Whereas he’d look for ways to force life to fit optimal control. *Edited to fix typos. [/QUOTE]
