Answer 1

Talk to her honestly

Answer 2

It sounds like you are in the UK so I am not sure if they have these available there, but what you could do is get a blood glucose test monitor (most in the US can actually be gotten for free, with a small amount of test strips) have her check her blood sugar in the morning when she gets up to establish a baseline. From my medical training, many moons ago so it might be different now, I would say anything between 60mgdl and 120mgdl is normal. It should be low in the morning. It's a lot let scary to check it yourself for a month or so to establish a baseline than it is to hear from a Dr that you have it.
The other route you can go is to remind her of the blindness, gangrene, amputations, strokes, heart attacks and other horrible things that can result from non-treatment. Just because she has it, doesn't mean she has to take insulin either. It CAN be controlled with diet or even an oral pill if it is the right kind.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Talk to her and tell her how you feel. Diabetes can be controlled. My mum has had it for a while now. At first she was always in hospital but now she is much better.

It is better when discovered early. who knows, she could be healed completely.

Tell her you love her and what her to seek medical advise. be very polite and understanding

Good luck
