[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1681624, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=462542]@Adamgross80[/USER] , Sorry to hear about your dad's vascular dementia. My T2 father had vascular dementia for the last 8 years of his life. He was on metformin but pulled off the meds for the latter 18 months of his life? I write this just to give you a heads up. Vascular dementia can play cruel tricks with the blood sugar levels. In short. My dad had access to a meter on prescription. Prior to his demise (& off the diabetes meds.) his blood sugars would plummet into hypo teritory (high 2s/low 3s mmol.) I was told after my dads death that the part of the brain affected (from my understanding.) acts like the ECU (engine management.) on a car? It tells the body to do random stuff as it shuts down... I felt this was worth mentioning regarding your own fathers diabetes medication. A close eye on the BS may well be needed.. Talking of cars... Lads? Could you please keep this thread on topic.? Cheers! [/QUOTE]
