I have a mother with diabetes type 2. is she fine to go out all the time and live life? am i at risk of taking her out to places with her health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life?: Define "live life". What "places"? She should exercise regularly and vigorously. She should have a low calorie diet and strict weight control. She can live a normal life but must limit alcohol. She must avoid smoking. There are excellent meds for her, usually mertformin. She should probably be on aspirin [baby, chewable],a statin, ACE or ARB meds.
