Welcome to the forums! Lots of great information and support here. You should get your dad to check us out. I know as a diabetic, its so much easier when there are other diabetics around to answer questions and just to commiserate with what we all go through at times.

Does your dad watch his carbohydrate intake? Does he get regular exercise? What meds does he take for his diabetes?

Having a consistently high blood sugar can lead to all sorts of complications, so his doctor should definitely be made aware of these numbers.

Hi whatever....and welcome To Diabetes Forums! You have found a good place for lots of information. As your father learns how knowledgeable you are on the subject you may find he listens to you more.

Glad you found us! Welcome....
