[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2452615, member: 480869"] I’m so sorry to hear your news. My dad was an insulin dependent type 2. He too had a respite visit a couple of months prior to his passing, post a high risk surgery to help recovery and adjustment. That surgery that took him from a sudden and immediate situation to giving him the few extra months to make his plans and give us as a family a little precious extra time. I’d been abroad for years immediately before this and it is a huge solace to me we had those weeks, though it’s never enough. During his first stay he was allowed to continue with his normal insulin regimes. By the time he returned for a 2nd recuperative stay (which sadly became for his final 3 weeks in the end) his insulin needs were much much less than they had been and were adjusted downwards with his consent but still monitored. The doctors were excellent at discussing his needs with him and us and respecting his wishes. I hope you can find the same peace of mind from this meeting and have one less concern as a result.
