If fasting for 12 hours (many people do this every day between dinner and breakfast, although many others like a midnight snack) caused your MIL serious problems, I guess her basal dose wasn't tailored to her needs.What caused the sight issues? Did she go high or low, and how did this affect her sight in only a couple of days?Is your MIL a T1 on the usual basal/bolus regime, or was she perhaps using a mixed insulin? Fasting on mixed insulin is close to impossible.</blockquote>
