What is the best way to take care of someone with type 2 diabetes? This person also has an ulcer in her stomac |
h and arthritus. If you are a care giver to someone you describe, you no doubt know the doctor who this person is under the care of. You need to know what diet they have to follow. What their limitations are, how much exercise they should have, etc, You may also have to take the persons' blood pressure during the day, monitor their blood sugar levels with the injection tools, monitor and other supplies. All this information you'll have to make sure you have on hand, if you are the sole provider of her in home health care. If she can take care of those testing things herself, that is good. She may have to keep a ledger of her sugar levels that she records each day. Along with what she's eaten at her meals. Sometimes if a Diabetic is sick, their sugar levels fluctuate and this needs to be recorded for the doctors info. As if the Diabetic is insulin dependant, those injections may need to be altered from time to time. As for the ulcer, you'll need to know if she is on meds to alieviate discomfort before she eats or after. And you'll need to know what foods to avoid. Usually anything acidy, or hard to digest, in roughage. Also greasy foods are a no no as well. So fried foods are eliminated while the ulcer is present. Usually creamed foods, and soups are a good source. Also yogurts, non acidy fruits and non restrictive vegitables (green or yellow ones) can be the best choices. Cottage cheese is a soothing source of protein, but it has fats to minimize. Since there is alot of info you will need to know and learn, you are better left to a professional who can put you in touch with the staff you need to educate you on the care for this persons' needs. Sensible eating is the key to both the Diabetes and the ulcer. Knowing which foods to avoid and how to prepare the good ones allowed more of, is necessary. Try googling on specific questions and learn some of the basics diets of both health situations. Don't panic, but try to learn and absorb all you need to know if it's you who all the responsibilities fall upon. Good luck!

So it was important to know which foods to ignore. |
