[QUOTE="mentat, post: 2155448, member: 86670"] When I have mood shifts I feel that my perspective is fair and the people around me are not respecting me or not caring about me. It took a very long time for me to start seeing this from an objective perspective and taking that on board when I was in that state. It's very threatening when someone suggests that things you strongly feel are true, aren't. Also with sugars it's a vicious cycle, I'm afraid. It sounds like he has diabetes burnout which is just made worse by terrible sugars. There are various approaches that may help get things back on track, for instance [LIST] [*]a diet change [*]changes to his insulin regime (in the past people didn't follow a basal/bolus regime so skipping meal injections wasn't a problem, you just had to eat on time) [*]having someone take over his dosing to give him a break [/LIST] But as to what makes sense is very situation-dependent. If I were you I'd try to find an intelligent and dedicated doctor, nurse or specialist since [B]he is very, very ill[/B]. [/QUOTE]
