Diabetic education: is a must for your Mom.It may be helpful for u to accompany her to these classes.This will give you both the info your Mom needs to be able to manage her diabetic condition and will keep her blood sugars under better control.Diabetic coma can be avoided with careful monitoring and better medical management.Request this education be set up prior to your Moms discharge.
