Ms. McGregor-

 

I am sorry to here about your sister and her bg's being out of control.  I have this issue every once in a while. You should ask your your sister what her numbers have been running lately and pass the info to her Physician. I would suggest calling her physician and putting your foot down. Ask them for help because 3 weeks is just too long to have out of control blood sugars.  don't want your sister to have a DKA from not eating or high blood sugars.
