My friend is a diabetic and won’t take care of herself?
FBI28 asked:
I have an elderly friend (65 +) who called me the other day to come and get her and take her to the Emergency Room. On the way there she told me her symptoms and I said it sounded like high blood sugar. She said no that she had tested it and it was fine. We got to the ER and I overheard her telling the nurse that her Blood Sugar WAS high when she tested it at home. So they admitted her, gave her some fast acting insulin, asked her about her diet and she totally lied to them. She is a severe diabetic and yet she drinks regular sodas and bread, and what not daily. So i told the Doctor on the side that she had been lying. And afterwards when i got her home and got her her medication I told her that she needed to start looking after herself better. Then a few days ago she wanted a ride to the store, so i did. And she ended up buying 16 (Yes SIXTEEN) twelve packs of sodas. This is none of my business but I’m the one who has to take her to the ER. What do I do???

Diabetic menu?
Jacobi S asked:
My best friend’s boyfriend is a diabetic. My family would like to invite them to our home to have dinner with us. We want to serve a dinner that all can enjoy together. Desserts with sugar of course are out of the question but other foods may have sugar that we are not be aware of. Any suggestions on a menu??

**NiCoLe** asked:
I know a lady who had to go on a diabetic diet for health reasons. I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could find a meal plan for a 1800 calorie or 1600 calorie diet, that lists foods for each meal and snacks etc etc. I know for a dieabetic diet just cut out sugar, but the meal plans actually break it down. Please help.

Diabetic-Need care asap (Uninsured)?
Fonzie asked:
Hello everyone,
I am a 1 year diabetic (type 1) and lost my insurance 10 months ago. I have had no insulin or haven’t been to the doctor since then and I can feel the effects now. (dry mouth and throat, urinating frequently ) My blood sugar for the last 3 months has been 335-550 as I have tried to eliminate as much sugar from my meals as possible. Does anyone know if I will be able to go to ER without insurance? (I found a free clinic locally last week but my appointment with them isn’t until Oct 29th) What should I do?
