[QUOTE="Mr Happy, post: 388019, member: 68897"] Before she leaves make sure you get to speak to a diabetes nurse, ask for all the pamphlets they have and a blood glucose monitor and test strips. They also will have log books for you to writing levels and doses down. Keep this and a food diary so you can see when and what makes your mum high and low. Try not to panic and over correct if she is high or low (at such a light weight changes are likely to be erratic). Also, get a contact number for a diabetes nurse at your local doctors and ring them whenever you are worried. Its the responsibility of the nhs to provide a level if care, ensure they do. Finally, remember to give yourself a pat on the back. Many people wouldn't do what you are, you will be making your mum proud!
