Diabetic without an appetite
| Sat, 11-03-2007 - 12:36am |
I need some advice. My mom-in-law is an insulin dependant diebetic, age 85. She says she has no appetite and won't eat much. She thinks not eating should help her levels stay down but the doctor isn't pleased with her recent tests. I'm trying to find some web site or book resources that will give me more information. I can't believe starving herself would help. I'm worried that it's doing the opposite and raising her levels. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

It might help to to see if there is a way to email the doctor or his nurse about various concerns or things that are she is being made aware of!!!
Since there is apparently a daughter close by, if she is taking care of her mom, I don't know about anyone stepping in...
Thank you, ladies, for your suggestions.
When you talk to your MIL's Dr. do not expect information about her to come from that Dr.

Her MIL can give permission for the dr to talk to them.
