[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 651740, member: 14557"] I assume your mother is not very young anymore. Diabetes, especially type two, tends to do its damage during long period of time. While there is of course possibility for hypoglycemic shock especially when you are injecting insulin and that can be life-threatening, just treating diabetes 2 badly, while of course harmful, tends to cause those harms in long term, not short term. So to be frank, many people who get diabetes 2 around their sixties and treat it badly die for other causes way before much harm from bad treatment of diabetes comes up. mother in law is having type 2 diabetes too and likes to make drama out of it (like about anything else in her life) and use it to control her kids. While you (or my husband or his siblings) can do nothing to make them treat themselves well, neither is it needed to be the audience for their drama. You have lots on your plate right now, just dismiss her drama. She is getting treatment from professionals, you are not able to change her self care anyway. She does what she wants to do and if pros don't get through to her, neither will you. Instead your emotional connection to her only feeds he flare for dramatics. [/QUOTE]
