Murderous intent?

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.

Definitely a spoof post.

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.

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

DD bakes us cakes!!!!!!!

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

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

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

The lack of any reference, coupled with the fact that the OP has not responded to any of the comments leads me to think that we are being wound up here

Could she not tell the family member that she doesn't want all the sweet stuff brought to her house to tempt her? She accepts it and doesn't give it away to others, she keeps it all for herself.

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

A strange post......unless you are a family member or an official carer, I'd be inclined to say that it is none of your business what someone else eats; whatever their age.

I remember my mother in her late 80s used to tick my father (early 90s) off for things he ate - but he lived to 93. Why shouldn't people eat what they like at that time of life? I'm going to stuff myself with cream cakes!

Not murder is it!!!! At 90 I guess you choose what you do and how you do it.

OP if you are this lady's carer, just be aware you have photographed her property and published on social media which is unethical. If this is recognised you could loose your job. If you feel there is an issue, report it to your line manager.

If the person is capable of making an informed choice, then they can eat what they choose, regardless of anything or anyone else.

The key point is to ensure and prove that it is informed.

I think you are over-reacting, although I do understand your concern.

It is unwise and unkind to bring a diabetic a lot of sweet stuff or an alcoholic alcohol, and it is no excuse to say, "But she asked for it herself."

Doubtless she did, but that doesn't make it right to bring her things that are bad for her, and which I have no doubt her GP has forbidden her.

On the other hand, she is 90, and you have not said that she is of unsound mind, so surely she has the right to live the last years of her life as she wants?

I very much doubt that anyone could or should be accused of attempted murder on these grounds.

When you visit, bring her something that you know will do her no harm, and leave the rest of her visitors to make up their minds themselves what they do.

But what's she going to eat tomorrow? ?

So if you're right Elrel and a sack is a US grocery bag, three sacks per year is perfectly OK for a diabetic. My husband is diabetic and is not denied all treats for the rest of his life.
Type 1 or 2 doesn't matter, as long as they test and medicate or inject to keep their blood sugar under control they are fine.
Of course, if the 90 year old binges and eats the lot at one go ............. she'll be in serious do doos.

I'm starting with a red wine because it is full of anti-oxidants
(Whatever they are)

MissAdventure Me too

I agree, so much so, that I'm making a start now.

I think at the age of 90, a person should eat and drink whatever the hell they like

Maybe a ‘sack’ is a paper bag as seen in US films

Where does the fact that there are 'no flowers' come into the equation?
Three 'sacks'(how big) of sugar-treats.
Is a sack an old single-use supermarket bag?
They must be quite small sacks if the amount shown is one sack full.
Spread over the year that's not a lot of sugar.
The will changing story is more worrying.
Is this a wind up?

Alcohol is a poison, so anyone giving a bottle of wine to a friend is by definition a murderer!

Well, it’s not the best thing to bring a diabetic but as one myself, I eat chocolate and it doesn’t affect my levels. Depends more what her day to day diet is like.

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.

This seems odd to me and the OP hasn't been back yet to comment.
