Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 My mother, who lives with me, 84 years old with altziemer's and dementia, has controlled diabetes with amaryl. Her sugar is usually around 90- 118 with a high of 300 is she doesn't behave herself. I monitor her diet as close as I can. I have told her that exercise could lower her bs level or even get her off of her meds, but she has gotten too old or too lazy to want to walk the little bit that would make an incredible diff. She has been with me for possibly five years or more. She is also on a cholesterol med. and has become incontinent since a bout with pnuemonia last Nov. around Thanksgiving. I also have a daughter, who is pre-teen, and a very busy husband with a full time job and a business he tries to run on the side. Full life here. Any comments or thoughts on the subject would be nice. An IM would also be helpful. Have a wonderful day.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
