I need advice for my mom. She has diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, depression,and is overweight. |
My mom is going to be 49 years old this July and has all of the conditions that I listed above. She isn't taking care of herself, and I have tried talking to her, and it works for a day or so, then she goes back to her ways. I am trying to be supportive. I will not eat ice cream (one of her favorites), I switched to diet soda, and I am trying to set an example. I don't know what else I can do. I am 22 and have a 2 year old daughter. I want and need her to be around for us. She has been mentioning lately that if something would happen to her that I have to make sure to take care of my little sister, and she says that it is in her genes because her dad died of heart disease young. With all of the medical technology, if she takes care of herself, she could live a long happy life. HELP!!! I suggest you get her depression treated and under control. She isn't taking care of herself because of the depression. Get her to talk to her physician about her depression. Get her on medications. Her physician can get her a phychiatric referral. If you don't trust she will follow through with that, call her doctor .. he may not be able to talk to you about her, but you can talk to him about your concerns for her and about her non compliance to taking care of herself. She may be angry at you for doing that, but unless her depression is treated, she will continue to not take care of herself and get sicker. Give her recipes for healthy tasty food. Also, grocery shopping online prevents you from being tempted as easily. Splenda!!!! Also, tell her how you feel and offer to walk with her to get her started exercising. I know what she is going through. Being overweight, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol all go hand-in-hand. If she needs someone to talk to have her e-mail me. I have all the above things too. You can't help her if she does not want help. I got help and am doing a lot better. Check out the website for the New Start Program in Wiemar CA. Saved my girlfriend's mother's life... 18 days of Vegan diet. exercise. sunshine. water and prayer (or meditative thought) will give a person a new life. DO IT RIGHT NOW! before it is too late. Hi,My name is Donna and just to let you know that mom has got to want help before anyone can help her.She is probably depressed often because she is over weight, and along with her medical problem's, she also doesn't feel good most day's.You are on the right track about helping her with her diet, which is very hard for most who are use to eating whatever they choose too. Start taking her on walk's, encourage her to get that weight off. Most with Diabetes, that are able to lose the weight find out that their sugar came's closer to normal, and blood pressure come's down.. I have know some that was able to come off their med's completely.. My mother is also a diabetic, that is over weight and has heart trouble and high blood pressure, but due to nerve damage in both legs and hip she is not able to excercise, she can barely walk any lenght of time.. don't give up on her and good luck to you both! If she has not done so already she may want to look into natural remedies. These remedies as well as some other great info. can be found at naturalpharmacy.com http://www.naturalpharmacy.com/health-ca... |
