Okay, so I'll try to make it short.
A few months ago, when I came to help my grandmother, she was in really bad health then. I think it was because my Uncle, who lives with her, wasn't taking very good care of her. Anyhow the months have passed and she is in great health. Now she's getting a little too confidant, as in leaving her walker and getting up on her own. She was in such bad condition before because of a fall, breaking her hip and arm.
She over eats constantly, at least 3000 calories a day, which is ridiculous. All of this sends her sugar off the charts, sometimes registering at 500-600, which is at the point of coma.
She refuses to wear her bi-pap, which prevents confusion, and helps with breathing.
For a while we had a handle on her food and other things, and that's the reason she was doing so well. Now that we've left her with my uncle a little bit more though, she's reverting into old habits. She eats large meals every two hours, even if we tell her her sugar is high. She demands it. All of the other stuff is just out of hand as well.
So, I guess I just need advice to handle the situation. I can't seem to talk sense into her, and with my completely uncaring uncle, I have no idea what to do and I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I've prayed to God and I will continue to pray, but I need something to relive some of this tension. I'm so stressed and angry all the time at my uncle and Grandmother because neither of them care about her personal health.
