[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2171515, member: 475037"] Going back to the basics is probably the best. He needs a basal, long acting insulin that will make up for what his liver produces. The idea being that if he doesn't eat for a day his blood sugar level with stay fairly consistent. Then he needs a bolus insulin, a fast acting insulin that he takes with food. Go a little easy at first, you should be able to judge some by what he's taking already, but he probably will feel weird "hypo" feelings at lower but more normal numbers, because he's not used to it. If you can read the book mentioned above by [USER=182669]@slip[/USER], think like a pancreas, it will help you with guidelines to follow. [/QUOTE]
