[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 323159, member: 1233"] M's diet just may kill your mom. Ketosis is a goal for at least one stage of South Beach. I was with husband when he asked our doctor about it. She just about wigged. She is seeing many many dangerous health problems that are brought about by doing South Beach. She says that for a healthy person it will just cause a lot of problems. If you have any health problems it can easily kill you. She is a common-sense doctor and doesn't wig out over anything usually. There is a reason diabetics have to have glucose with them all the time. These spikes are very very bad. At your mother's weight, the calories it sounds like your mother is getting are way too few for her body to function. The night time problems may simply be that she is going too long between meals for her body to function. In reality, this diet could be considered elder abuse. A nursing home who restricted a patient like this would be shut down. In fact homes are supposed to make sure clients eat enough or they have to have feeding tubes. At least in our state it is monitored closely. PLEASE insist on help from a dietician, and if M won't do it, or won't follow what they tell her to do, call and report elder abuse. Did your mom knowingly let anyone starve you? It will be hard. M and the rest may again treat you like Hitler. Maybe the siblings would be on your side, but family politics are tricky. PLEASE do what is best to keep your mom safe and healthy. [/QUOTE]
