[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 2107810, member: 492004"] Oh Jaylee, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. :-( I can take onboard what you're saying, though, as this is my fear about where this is heading. The 'forgetful' moments worry me, because he's always been razor sharp with his memory. His diet I would honestly say is overall not hugely bad, he knows he can't eat platefuls of rice and isn't too bad on keeping the general carbs low, but the sugar things and memory loss worry me. My Mum doesn't help and between them, they just blame each other for buying sugar foods (ie. cheesecakes/sherry trifles/packs of white choc cookies etc). I see all this when I drop around to see them and it plays on my mind because neither seems willing to help not just themselves and each other. I had a serious chat with my Mum about it in the past few days, but there was no point, she shut me down, and outright said she won't change her diet and she won't take/go with him to see the doc. So I'm currently at stalemate over what to do. I know this isn't healthy, and I've even shown him articles on the internet about not controlling his diabetes properly, but it has no effect. This is the man that lost half a foot through amputation due to his diabetes, so you'd think he knows this isn't good for him. Not sure what else I can do, it's really frustrating to watch this play out... [/QUOTE]
