My wife was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over 2.5 years ago. Her G.P. prescribed tablets which made her constipated so she stopped taking them. She was told of all the health risks but appears to be in total denial. She has lost stones in weight and her muscles have wasted away, although she still has a v.much reduced bust. After eating she has indigestion almost immediately,she passes wind frequently and has to urinate during the night every 2 hours. One night she went 8 times and had problems controlling herself ( ie, small drops on the wooden floor about 5 metres from the W.C. She has been to the Optician once ( about 2 years ago, had spectacles prescribed but does use them and will not attend her annual check up, she has been using a magnifying glass to read the T.V.Times. She tends to have only coffee and orange juice for breakfast, her meals now consist of minute portions, although very occasionally she can eat a fair sized portion.Discussed this with G.P./confidentiality!
