请问患糖尿病父母来美探亲应注意事么

朋友母亲患糖尿病，需要每天打胰岛素。好不容易签出可以来美探亲，但是朋友担心母亲是不是可以在美国呆上半年。有没有有类似情况的朋友可以介绍一下经验？

非常感谢！！！！

Bring enough insulin and other meds, -- unless she has the medical insurance here, or she is willing to pay for the office visit by herself, plus the cost of medications from Pharmacy here.

During her stay, try to maintain good blood sugar, around 150-200 everyday. A blood sugar meter is a must. Needs to poke herself before and after meals. Usually we test diabetic patients' HbA1C level every 3 months, whose value is expected to be below 6.5-7.0. I suggest she should get this test done at least every three months.

And before she comes here, go to an eye doc and a foot doc for a check-up, just to make sure she doesn't need any urgent intervention.
