[QUOTE="Zik, post: 1163914, member: 301506"] Hello there, So, my Father (53 year old, slightly over-weight) has Type 1 diabetes and has red swollen legs and really cracked skin. His sugar used to be 20+ but they've regulated it down to 9~13 (still quite high, I'm told). The problem is... he simply won't eat properly. He's living on one sandwich a day and 15+ cups of coffee with 2 and 1/2 sugars in. Each day is an argument to get him to eat right. He says he has no appetite. I sympathise with him because I know what it's like to eat without hunger... but at the same time, I know he needs to eat! I'm so tired of trying to get him to eat. I don't want him to die. He's not taking anything seriously. I am so scared I will lose him. Please.. help me, any tips or suggestions... just.. anything.. Zik [/QUOTE]
