Help follow MD order: Your brother has diabetes, advanced heart and kidney disease. He is chronically ill with serious medical problems.

You can help him by encouraging him to follow closely the recommendations of these docs, specifically diet, level of activity, medication, lifestyle habits, and reduce stress.
