[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1794209, member: 459333"] Thanks. The question made me realise that really I need to be more on top of what medication she is on. We don't live with her and she's still 'all there' mentally, but there could well be a scenario, sooner or later, when her medical care is in our hands to some extent. I'm going to make a point of writing down all the stuff she is on next time I visit. I'll also do some research on each type of medication. Have you tried getting your mum off sugar or reducing carbs? I haven't worked out the details accurately, and I'm pretty sure my mum is going to be well over 50g a day, but we have successfully persuaded her to change her diet quite dramatically for a few months now. She often talks about making herself steak and mushrooms (and nothing else - no sauces etc) and really enjoying it now, whereas a few months ago it would have been putting a rice-heavy ready meal in the microwave. She also hasn't had any cream cakes etc for the same amount of time. It's hard to say if it's helping, but it certainly isn't making things worse! [/QUOTE]
