After reading your post, I realised I wouldn't have actually know what to do if he had a fit
I've printed this post of and will give it a good read.
Hi Alan, seemed to have missed this reply
i have myself wanted to move out of home and live by myself while at uni, however my parents have always been a bit insecure about me doing so all down to the same thoughts you must be having right now...with them wondering if i will be able to look after myself, eat correctly, do injections on time, what will happen if anything goes wrong with my levels etc etc etc
however, there is nothing you can really do but pray nothing will happen...the risks are the same whether you are living with someone or living by yourself...it all comes down to how well you can control your sugar levels and stick to a PROPER diet.
As long as your dad eats properly and is able to recognise the signs of when his level is too low or too high, he will be fine
and everytime u do come to worry...give him a ring mate and have a little talk...and i know he will assure you everything is ok
it will make your mind ease the worry although i know it will never go away
im glad my posts are of help to you
