[QUOTE="ConcernedRelative, post: 2696319, member: 565699"] Morning campers. We now have a smartphone for dad, once the current sensor is done the next will be activated, and hopefully this will help him, as he seems reluctant and/or unable to help himself I wonder how many of yall have ever experienced such confusion during an attack that you don't even know what glucose is, after eating them every day for 40 years. And whether it's psychology (depression/defeat) that explains behaviour (not checking the thing that can keep you well, or even save your life) I do wish I could instil some empathy, and motivation. Quick questions on the rule of 15; Does everyone follow this, when needed, eg levels below 3? And am I right in thinking a) that's ~= four fast acting lift tablets, EVERY 15minutes, until levels are elevated above the low danger threshold? And b) do you then often (or always) follow with q snack, or a meal? Am hoping to record data over a few days will more info on details, to see if the slow insulin dose he's on is still too much, if his insulin sensitivity has changed, if there's some adjustments to how much fast acting... or if he just needs to eat better earlier and check more often... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
