Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Please I am calling out for anyone who thinks they can help me make my mom aware that her Diabetes is a serious matter. I am 31 yrs old and my mom is 58 yrs old and I am so scared that one day my son is gonna come home from school to find her in a comma from her blood sugar level being so high.To give you an idea of her last 12 reading they were 354,373,452,389,540,395,423,475,380,394,427,HI,506,454 from what I have been told these are very high and dangerous and im scared. She's suppose to take Insulin shots twice a day and im not even sure she does that.She also smokes as much as a chimney does i think shes smoking like 1 pack a day and have no plans in stopping either. If anyone has an ideas that might help me make her believe its a serious thing please help me. I'm just hoping that with alittle true stories or real peoples responses that she will wake up and understand she cant go on living like this very long. Thanks ahead of time for anyone willing to try and help me with my mom. and Josh(my son) I'm finding it so hard to care about my moms diabetes when she clearly does not have any care about it what so ever. I wish I could just say its her life and leave it at that but I dont wanna have to explain to my 10 yr old son when she dies why she isnt around anymore. Her sugar level has been well into the 300-400 for a few months at least. I lost my father at an early age of 50 from lung cancer and I just dont like to sit and watch her not give a care about her health. So for now I guess I will worry about my son and myself and just hope one day before its to late she will realise just how serious diabetes is. I wanna thank everyone who has wrote to me I did print it out and shared it with the rest of my family and I also made my mom read the responces as well. and Josh(my 10 yr old son) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
