Diabetic folks

Try not to force exercise instead start with small steps. Go for a drive after dinner do little things to start breaking routines for the positive. Then go into stopping and talking a short walk at the river, nature trails, sights of some kind.. Just get moving. Don't even let her know why. We just get set in things and comfortable in them and the older we get the harder it is to change.

Does she maybe have self esteem issues? Ultimately, it is her decision to live or die, that simple, to do nothing to help herself is selfish for the family (kids?). It will cause her to lose her vision, feeling her legs, ability to walk or have legs for that matter.

One is a product of the environment which they live in and the whole family needs to get involved in accepting and being accountable in helping make a change in that environment.

When I ask her when she is going to start exercising she gives me a bit of an attitude. Sad thing is she is getting very close to pushing me into a manic state with this.....it has become EXTREMELY stressful for me. I love the woman, and I don't want to see her end up in a terrible situation that could have been prevented.
