Do not panic but be vigilant. Please ensure that your mother is trained to be able to take care of herself. It is important to empower every patient with the right knowledge and necessary action plan in case of an emergency. Please talk to your doctor and arrange for a counselling. You too can learn about the basics of diabetes and it's complications from the internet. Slowly, with the right guidance, your mother can feel the confidence of managing herself without facing any risk. Certain basic tips are as follows: Never skip a meal, eat in small portions. Take the help of a dietician who can help with a diet chart according to her body needs. This will ensure that she can eat her favourite things without fear. Maintain good hydration. Sleep on time (7-8 hours of sleep ). Let her exercise every day (at least for 30 minutes ). Yoga can be a better option as it is simple and can help the body to rejuvenate naturally. Keep an identity card with medical conditions written on it with the doctors phone number or emergency hospital number. If she takes insulin then talk with the doctor regarding compliance or adjust the dose (so that there are no hypoglycemic episodes ). There is no need for perfect control of blood sugars in such cases. So, you need to talk to the doctor concerned and chalk out a strategy which is flexible and easy to follow for your mother.
