I am very sorry for your loss its never easy to lose a mother. 28 years ago there likely wasn’t as much info and good advice available to diabetics. There are often other factors that cause a premature death. Simply from my own experience keep a happy photo of her or both of you nearby and remember the good times knowing she is now at peace. Be very kind to yourself.My mother(65 yrs) passed on yesterday. She was type2 diabetic for 28 yrs and her sugars were mostly uncontrolled even with medication. Last couple of years she had end stage kidney failure and dementia also started. Last couple of months her dementia worsened, she became immobile , unable to eat, slowly breathing became difficult.
I'm so sorry you've lost your mother. Unfortunately dementia in particular is a very cruel illness and there doesn't seem much that can be done for it (now anyway, though things may well be better in the future.)Last couple of months her dementia worsened, she became immobile , unable to eat, slowly breathing became difficult.
So so sorry to hear about your mum dying. I lost my mum 18 months ago with end stage kidney disease. She had also had diabetes type 2 for thirty years and like your mum also improved her sugar control by low carbing and moved into diabetes remission but unfortunately her kidney disease although progressed slower had obviously progressed too far to turn it back. We were very lucky though to have her until the age of 91 and she was spared dementia.My mother(65 yrs) passed on yesterday.

Look after yourself - our mums are very special and I miss mine every day. Big hug from me.
True. There was no knowledge about diabetes remission or low carbing in 90s or 2000s.I am very sorry for your loss its never easy to lose a mother. 28 years ago there likely wasn’t as much info and good advice available to diabetics.
