Diabetes

[Spallalala]

So more shit news from my part of the world. I think the last thing you guys heard was that mum has emphasema. Now its diabetes type 2 and osteoperosis.

Im once again looking for some help. I saw my dad die from diabetes. He had it for 14years and I know he didnt give a shit about his health and thats what gave him 5 heart attacks to end him.
Mums at the point where she wants to die but im trying to keep myself inline to help her and not to have these thoughts.

I know many of you have had older family or friends where you have seen them go through some serious things.

My 1 main concern is that she isn't eating enough. She hates green veg and thats what she is lacking the most now. I know alotta you guys have kids to so you might be able to help with the food thing. How do you get the elderly to eat there greens?

Anyway. 2007 is really pissing me off and I know you guys always cheer me up some how.

Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can throw some input my way in regards to anything really.

you can try to help and I'm sure you would to some extent, but it seems like this is more of a matter for a doctor or diabetes expert. Maybe a dietrician.

Well yeah silly I know the drs can help out. But I thought the horror folks have been through alot and would like to share some of there thoughts.

Plus one bad thing is that she is irish, very stubborn and the only vegs she has ever liked is spuds. ha

The most important thing to watch is fatty foods. It actually is worse than eating sugar, also watch the carbs. My mom is a diabetic and i had it with this pregnancy, only mine went away after the baby. Closely monitoring her sugars and exercise works wonders. I hope everything goes ok!!
