Reminds me of when I was having a stent put in two weeks before triple bypass and the cardiologist, looking at the video monitor asks, "Are you a smoker, sir?"
Never have puffed another.
Now my heart is not what it was. It's damaged.
I wish I had known smoking was bad for your body.
Stomachmonkey makes some interesting points about ADD/ADHD. I have ADD. I'm not an expert in it but I do remember a Dr that I went to that specialized in it's treatment said
lots and lots of smokers. He also said money problems and weight control are very common. However, just talking.
The deal with ADD is one does not assess the consequences of their actions.

On topic. I take Metformin in the morning and night for Type 2 diabetes. After losing 30 lbs I am 6.8 down from 7.1 A1C.
If I eat cardboard the night before and skip breakfast before sticking myself, I will have 120 blood sugar (with the metformin). Under 100 is normal.
If I eat a decent balanced meal without metformin I will be at 225 which is getting closer to your dad's unfavorable numbers without eating any sugar bombs. With a quart of ice cream I would be right with him.
I say keep working on him. Good idea on the school concert.
