    All the things you have read that could happen to a diabetic is only things that will happen if she doesn't take care of herself but even then it would be a long time from now before this happens. If mum eats all the healthy food she is advised to eat and does exercise, she doesn't need to go to the gym all she needs to do is 30 minutes walking a few days a week and if she keeps her sugar levels down she will probably live longer than you as she wont be eating junk food, I am type 2 diabetic and I am 54 years old, Good Luck

    Life style is often part of the issue. Life style changes now could delay or prevent you from getting diabetes later. Learn here https://tr.im/p666E

    What you eat is not actually the cause of diabetes, but how you live can be. If you sit on the couch all day, your chances of developing diabetes goes up greatly.

    Just do the best you can to not gain weight and to maintain an active life style and that will greatly help reduce some of your risks.

    Don't be scared! Her condition can be easily managed with medication and a healthy diet. She'll be just fine and you're not going to lose her early—or at least not because of diabetes.

    Diabetes by itself doesn't cause anything. It is uncontrolled high blood sugars that kill and maim.

    Being diagnosed with diabetes is not a death sentence. It's only a death sentence if the patient refuses to do anything to control their blood sugars.

    Get over being scared!! Most of the scare items you are reading belong to the last century diabetics!!

    If she changes her diet to low carb food plan, walks an hour every day as fast as she can, and takes her medications on schedule, she can live very healthy life til she is about 99!

    Most of the top Endocrinologists in the USA recommend the South Beach Diet phase 2 to their diabetic patients. It works really well for a lifestyle and is healthy for the entire family.
