My mother is going to move to a Nursing Home soon! We were told the waiting time would be at least 1 year, but there it is! I google the place, and it looks nice, with great gardens and a homey feel.

We feel that living in a NH will be safer for her, and that she will be surrounded by people all of the time, so she won't feel lonely. The last years, with her developing Alzheimer's have been full of worries for her. She had been living by herself since my father passed away, wanting to remain autonomous and live her own life. Fortunately, she's willing to move to a NH, and hopefully things will get better for her.

As for me, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, and my doctor was being frantic and it paniqued me, once again. Yesterday afternoon, we were visiting friends, and the guy is diabetic, so I asked for counsel. He took out the machine that measures sugar in the blood, took some blood, and from the reading my level of sugar was normal, even if I had had a meal a couple of hours previously! That disminished my worry too. I'm suppose to get another glucose test tolerance, and  I think that I'll get a second opinion by another doctor. This is too important for a screw up.

Maybe all these positive changes will make it easier to become healthier.

I want to say too that prayers get answered, even if it takes a while and that the road is dark. :love:

Both my brother and myself have had the same diagnosis years ago, we both have high blood pressure. A full eye test will be able to tell if there is any sign of diabetes. Not sure if that will save you any money. Get yourself on a good diet. I quit meat, very little sugar. A good vitamin selection of supplements. Individual ones are best as opposed to one pill with everything in it. Magnesium is great. My brother and myself have never had any further development at all. I had an eye test in December and there is no sign of diabetes, even the cataracts that were seen a few years previously have vanished. I take 200 mg a day for my eyes.
Great news about your mother. You will now know she is not alone and safe in the nursing home. Xx

Thanks a lot my friend for this detailed reply. I'm due for a full eye test anyway. I have low blood pressure.

I'm looking foward to this new feeling of her being safe and not alone.
