for cookies, candy bars, non-diet sodas, orange juice...anything with sugar. I know that's ok for a temporary fix, but it's usually his only nutrition for the day. Since my birthday, Oct 18, Mom has seen dad eat ONLY 1 poptart and several mello yello's. NEVER eats regularly, NEVER exercises, sleeps (or is in bed) most of the day, drinks HEAVILY every day (normally 1.75 liter of vodka/whiskey every 2-4 days!!). Mom noticed recently how purple his left leg was, also blotchy purple on both arms. His blood sugar episodes leave him immobilized, and eventually soiling and/or wetting himself. There are poop and pee stains throughout the house, especially in and around his recliner, in and around his side of the bed, and in his bathroom. He's temporarily lost the use of his legs--for minutes or hours at a time--and once, at least, couldn't see. I need GOOD sources of info for him. He needs it all written down for him what he can and can't do. He's VERY STUBBORN, he thinks no one notices.
