This is how they manage your diabetes in an assisted living facility. Before every meal you to to the central location to get a blood test to make sure you should get a shot. In the evening about 2 hours after dinner you go down again and have it tested so you wont die from hypoglycemia during sleep. If you are way over a healthy blood sugar level too bad. Nothing can be done about it. Just look around and see how things are with the patients. The doctor checks the records occasionally to make adjustments in the amount of insulin to administer.There is no diabetes education. You are on your own.
The caregivers seem to think that your b/g has to be about 120 to be right. The healthy non-diabetic will run about 85 mg/dl.
