My area of the country has a relatively high rate of diabetes. When I was spending a good portion of every day in a local nursing home, taking care of the needs of family elders, I would often see quite young folks in wheelchairs, recovering from foot surgery or even an amputation due to diabete...
Hi Carol thank you again for sharing a source of wonderful information. My mother has diabetes and is 79. You know I just lost my husband to alzheimers. My mother is a wonder she can run rings around me. She travels from Oklahoma to visit me in Texas and was here with me when Ray passed. She is going through a lot with her husband right now and I am praying the stress and some of the problems she is starting to have are from stress but the scare of alzheimers is very real to me. I don't really think she has it but I am going there next month and encouraging her to be tested. I thank you for the information on diabetes as it now gives me a way to approach the subject in a manner that possibly won't upset her. Lonely, grieving but still hanging in here in Texas. Thank you Connie
Thanks, Connie. Diabetes affects so much. I'm glad you are on top of it. Thanks for your kind words.
Carol
