[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2308419, member: 345386"] That's fabulous news your parents have been discharged. I know they are overseas, but are they at their home overseas, or are they in an hotel, or apartment? I think we both know from reading around this site that for many people, trimming back on carbs can be really challenging. Some people find carbs very addictive. My thoughts at the moment would be that they concentrate on managing their blood sugars using whatever tools they have to aid their recovery. I imagine your parents insulin doses are fixed doses, possibly twice a day. Those doses would were calculated roughly based on their usual diet, so changing diet dramatically whilst using insulin can be a bit tricky, because it could lead to hypos. [/QUOTE]
