She is 62 years old and has had diabetes for years now. She won't check her blood, her feet are horrible, and she is loosing the use of her left leg. We are getting ready to move and have decided to move her with us. My question is first do we move her into an assisted living place, or get her a house? Second, how in the world do we (my husband and I) get her to take the disease seriously and take care of herself? She has told us before that she is taking care of herself, but our son is temporarialy staying with her and he tells us the truth. Please help, I am at my wits end.
