My point is that no doctor, with a license anyway, would say an outrageously high number like 500 is "okay" for a diabetic.

Something for you to read on the dLife forum today:

"I am posting for my elderly mother, who is a brittle Diabetic, and
has been for years.

Lately due to many situations her insulin regimin has been changed.

However, due to an illness my mother's glucose level went very high
300 400 even over 600.

My mothers doctor stated today that it is NOT safe for a a person with
a high glucose level to have their sugar brought down to rapidly. He
stated that in doing so it can cause a disorder in the brain."
