Murderous intent?

I think this post is a spoof and not worth commenting on. Where are the moderators?

All this thread has done is make us all crave chocolate!

Or a good stiff drink to forget how we are knocking on.

DD bakes us cakes!!!!!!!

Bag up the cakes as evidence and go to the police, M0nica.

My late mother-in-law reached the age of 88. She, too, was obese and diabetic. She reached the stage where she thought 'to hell with it'. She decided she was going to enjoy her food and if it knocked a few moths off her life, so be it.
Perhaps this lady has reached the same stage.

Definitely a spoof post.

If the stuff is hidden around the house then she hasn’t eaten it, whoever supplies her food on a day to day basis is the reason for her obesity.

Am I the only one who didn't quite understand the post. Are you saying the elderly woman bought these for herself or did someone buy them for her. Why are they being photographed. I can't work out what's going on here.
Do you know the woman myGrammy

I used to visit my 92 year old mum once a fortnight ….I don’t drive and was working full time with disabled husband …..so it’s all I could manage AND afford , as it meant two buses ..a train…and a taxi of 6 miles other end!! Her diet was reasonable … meat/ fish and two fresh veg and the occasional ( twice weekly) cream/ apple turnover , bought in to her by her cleaner/helper. She was not diabetic. But her doctor gave her a ‘diet sheet’ ….as she was only 5’2” and weighed 10 stones! I went one day to find her crying because the doctor said she had to “stop eating cakes”. I asked her a simple question…. did she want to stop eating two apple turnovers per week…. she said “no”. I screwed the diet sheet up and threw it out the window . And before anybody shouts about littering…. It was a gesture….I picked it up. She died 2 years later of old age! I’m content she didn’t ‘eat herself to death’. But instead enjoyed what she liked to eat all her life. We all have a choice … and once we’re passed 70 … people should ‘shut their yaps’ about the way we choose to go out of this world !

Sorry my post should have ended GrammyGrammy (not myGrammy).

A bit of a miserly offering if you ask me, considering ‘this same one’ managed to get 3 million quid, but, on balance…….

My nan had it explained to her time and again about healthy food choices.
She just said she hadn't got to her age to be having to count how many grapes she was "allowed".

Callistemon 'I don't know a lot about T1 diabetes but have a couple of friends with that condition and they carry sweets with them in case they need them.'

It's because Type 1 diabetics inject insulin. In a non-diabetic body, the pancreas produces just the right amount of insulin for the food eaten/to maintain the level of glucose in the blood. When you inject insulin, it's a fixed amount, calculated by you, and there are all sorts of things that can make your blood glucose levels too low (not enough carb in a meal, exercise, stress, alcohol, etc. etc.). If you go too low you risk going into a coma and death, so a quick snack of sweet food can avert this.

Surely you wouldn’t buy an obese diabetic all these treats if you cared about her health? Having seen the appalling way some elderly people are treated, yes it does look to me like an attempt to speed up her demise,

No one is making her eat them. It’s not being forced down her throat. Very sad

Bluebelle- i would join you?

There's not that many..and if they're still there shes definitely NOT eating them is she.?

I wish someone would bake me cakes?

She didn’t have to eat it!

Maybe you should submit this as a plot idea for ‘Doctors’!

Sugar is quite hard to give up, has she been told to stop eating sugar? The aim with T2 diabetes is to control blood sugar by eating a healthy, filling diet. Maybe she’s just hungry?

I'm presuming this is the UK from the items pictured but I'd be interested to know what your connection is to the situation?
Also, how do you know that it's this that's made her incontinent....
It's a rather bizarre post which isn't helped by your lack of responses.

My mother is an 80 years old diabetic with dementia who will steal sweets and cakes if she doesn't have any. We endeavour to help her by giving her sugar free sweets but she becomes extremely belligerent if you try to discourage her from eating what she wants. Visiting her without something she likes is not a pleasant experience. We try to balance quality of life with quantity which isn't exactly the 100% diabetic diet but what is the point of living longer but unhappily. The most important thing is that my Mum doesn't die in screaming agony from complete body wide organ failure.

"Sugar" is contained in many foods. What non diabetics fail to understand that this haul is just overt sugar, which can be eaten in moderation.
Things like fruit, juice, bread, are the real naughties .
Just don't be overreacting

My Mum is 90 and eats whatever she pleases. She isn’t diabetic though… She has decided that, at her age, why worry?!
At our local hospice, patients are allowed to smoke (outside) and eat whatever they like. Why not?

My friends mum was 94 in a care home and used to sneak off to the toilet for a ciggy she’s recently lost her life but I have seen a picture of her in her latter days sitting at the dressing table putting full make up on ……..and why not
Talking of murderous intent is silly
I m beginning to think this is a spoof thread no sign of grammygrammy
