[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2308067, member: 345386"] [USER=520572]@RosieMaxwell[/USER] - I won't add too much to what the others have said, because we don't know anything about your parents' diabetes, their COVID or any of the meds they have been given to aid their recovery. What I will say is that if your parents need a bit of help with their blood sugars right now, it doesn't necessarily mean they would have to use insulin forever. If their Docs are talking about a few days, it sounds like they want to take insulin for a while. (Then, presumably review.) Frustratingly, high blood sugars just give the body one more thing to fight, and it ca slow up or inhibit healing, so I would suggest it's very worthwhile keeping an open mind about it all. I have my fingers crossed for their continuing improvement, and hopefully you'll be able to see them soon, and don't forget to look after yourself too. [/QUOTE]
