See GP!: Your father needs to see his doctor as soon as possible. Go with him to help him with asking questions of the doctor and in writing down the doctor's recommendations. Consider seeing a neurologist (about forgetfulness) and/or an endocrinologist (to best control his Diabetes). If your GP is not helpful, get a second opinion.

Poor health: I agree with Dr. Rhoads. If your father has unintentionally lost a great deal of weight, that is worrisome. It sounds like he has issues with more than one system. Please insure that he gets prompt medical attention. Take care.
