[QUOTE="Samalander, post: 902642, member: 196184"] Yes, I still live at home with my parents most of the time. For the most part i've been leaving him to it, but his mood lately had became intolerable so I had a talk with him thinking the mood swings could be an affect of his sugar levels. That's when I found out he's really not doing anything to even test it, except having check ups with the GP who just keep saying his levels are high. So since then, I have been trying to sit down and have talks with him. Sometimes he just refuses to hear anything when I'm trying to put across how serious it is to have constantly high levels. But if I try again a few hours later he tends to listen at least for a few minutes. He knows the affects diabetes can have, he knows that at this rate, he could lose an appendage, it just seems like he's trying to ignore it hoping it will go away. I did manage to get him to let me test him 3 times today though, so I think I'm making progress(!) And thank you for clearing up about T2 with DKA. Thanks, Sam [/QUOTE]
