my aunt has been suffering from diabetes for most of her life. unfortunately she hasn't been able to maintain her disease and is constantly suffering from complications. it has gotten to the point now that she needs constant supervision from medical professionals-and she needs to be placed in a home. she is very stubborn so it is hard to find an adequate place for her. any suggestions? anything will help!

I will have to agree with the other answer, I think a assisted living facility would probably be better suited for your aunt it sounds like. Especially at her age, Nursing homes are usually so final, most that go believe they are just going there to die,or that they are being put there because they are a burden on someone. With assisted living she will have still some freedom and yet be monitored by a professional. Hope this helps either way it will be a hard decision. Good luck

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

You'll just have to call around to different nursing homes and see what they offer. I worked in nursing homes and we usually had at least one younger patient. At the last one I worked at we had several younger patients, with things like MS, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and yes Diabetes. What was hard for them was being in the minority, they were surrounded by elderly people, although some of the more mobile ones were able to form friendships with each other. When you call you have the right to ask if they have several others in her age range. A good bet would be to call and ask to speak to their social worker. He/She will be able to discuss the special needs a younger resident might face and if she will fit into their little community. Good Luck.

most nursing homes know how to watch diabetic patients and also have round the clock health care pros first off where do you live then call around to see what you like and you think she would too.
