[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 882713, member: 88961"] Debs - I'm sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment. Did the optician, actually say she's going blind right now, or that she has some changes in here eyes that could result in blindness if not taken seriously and dealt with now? Whilst it's not great to jump to conclusions, it feels like your Mum's bloods aren't going o come back in a great range. It doesn't really matter why she developed diabetes. Many of us are carrying weight when diagnosed, but not everyone, by a long chalk. Moving forward now, it's important to deal with the situation, rather then try to look back too far. Does she take any medication and what's her diet like? For we T2s, irrespective of whether or not we carry any excess poundage, what we eat critical to how things go for us. It's usually hard fact that we have to eat in a different way, for some time at least. If all these things have piled in recently - the realisation her toe isn't healing, the other blister and so on, your Mum may be in a bit of shock, but it doesn't sound like she has the luxury f taking time to get her head around her situation. I do hope we are able to help your Mum in some way. Would she join in with the forum herself? [/QUOTE]
