Answers:
In general, remember the saying!.!.

"Hot and dry (skin) (blood) sugar high!. Cold and clammy (cold and wet skin) needs some candy!."

He might want to go to an endocrinologist and see if they can regulate his blood sugar better with the correct medications and dosages!. It might help for him to see if he needs his medication adjusted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He needs to get a handle on his blood sugar!. If he dose not it will just get worst!. He may think he's fine but the damage is being done and will catch up with him some day!.Work with him on what he eats,cut the carbs Www@Answer-Health@Com

He needs to get it together, and get his sugars under control!. If he is hyperglycemic that often, he is doing serious wear and tear on his kidneys!. He is a walking advertisement for the American Heart Association[of how to get heart disease] too!. So, he does not want to live beyond age 40!? He is seriously heading in that direction!.
Six small meals per day, all about even in carbs and protein!. No snacking!. Watch the carb or calorie limit the doctor should have prescribed!. Go to the ADA website for help, they have foods and the the amounts recommended!.
A carb is a carb is a carb!. Some digest quicker than others!. Wild rice, potatoes, white rice it does not matter!. The body identifies it as a carb, and digest it accordingly!. Brown rice might digest a little slower!.
And sugar is sugar is sugar, and sugar is a carb!. Same thing: the body digests it!. It might digest faster than others, but the body still does the same things with it!.
Well, here is a thought!. Put the whole family on a diabetic diet!. Eliminate most of the sugar in your diets, add veggies and natural fruit, do not buy the potato chips and process sugar!. Your kids will thank you for it when they are forty, you will be healthier now, and so will bf!.
Did you say this uncontrolled diabetic is home with the kids!? Do they know how to call 911!? Some day he is going to collapse, and the kids will be unattended, and be faced with an adult who might look dead [or just might be]!.
If he had the following is the issue,HE IS A MACHO MAN AND SUGAR CONTROL IS FOR WOOSES!. Tell him that diabetic non compliance
is done by woosies and little crybaby girls!. You might want to tell bf, if it is macho to kill yourself a little at a time and loose fingers and toes, then hands and feet, then arms and legs, and die in a nursing home an agonizing death at the age of 45, go ahead and be macho!.
Good luck, maybe a good scare will help him!.

Hi, yes he does have quite a problem!. I know because I have been diabetic for over 10 yrs!. I also know how difficult it can be to get on track with a good diet & testing his blood levels!. Does he have a meter for this!? If so, you could urge him to test his blood first thing in the morning & then at some point 2 hours after a meal!. The am reading tells what he is fasting!. Then when you eat, 2 hours after a meal is the level that will tell if he ate the "right food"!. A real simple way to know what to eat is to make sure he eats small meals every 4-5 hours & make sure that he has equal amounts of proteins & carbs at each meal!. You know what proteins are, meats,beans, peanut butter !. And carbs are the pasta,rice,potatoes etc!. You have to have BOTH at each meal!. Protein makes your blood sugar go down & carbs make it go up,therefore equal parts will stable him out!. Everybody could follow this diet & we all would be healthy & never hungry!. He can have veggies & salads with a meal with no problem to fill up,if he needs to!. I assure you he will feel 1005 better by following this & you could too!. Just like any life style change,it takes a while to get used to,but in n time it will be just like brushing your teeth, it'll come natural & you won't even notice it at all,EXCEPT he'll feel so much better & have so much energy that you won't know him! LOL The difference of just doing that is astounding!. Good luck you you & him! You know for any time your blood sugar reading is over 170, you're killing yor vital organs & I don't have to tell you how bad that is! I hope this helps in some way!.All the best to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
