Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kat2105" data-source="post: 2171465" data-attributes="member: 517013">He doesn't get a lot of sudden lows, but probably once a week or randomly a couple of days a week he will just do everything the same, and be really low. I think he has just adapted to being high majority of the time, so for him anything around the 9 - 13 mark is just "normal" for him, and he will only be like oh bit high if it heads up to 17 upwards.I'll find out what insulin he takes so i can give you an answer but I know he takes a morning and afternoon rapid acting shot, and then around dinner time he takes one that is longer acting, so does that one every 24 hours..  I hope that makes sense? If he were to start at the beginning, going back to very basics..should he be testing about 4 times a day and working out carbs every meal? He works split shifts, so will have breakfast, lunch and dinner, no snacks or breaks inbetween. He knows I won't  tolerate him watching him kill himself, as I've said exactly that today in fact, and he has said he is willing to start doing things properly... I just am not sure if he even knows what properly is or where/how to start, particularly as he just seems to have this "oh well, this is my life" fatalist mentality regarding it</blockquote>
