My mum (aged 90) got a letter from her doctor saying that a recent blood test shows she is pre-diabetic.
They have invited her to join a diabetes prevention programme. I somehow don't think that will work, given that she will forget any advice they give her!
I do buy her sweets etc to keep her happy, but I'm going to have to cut down on those. I'll probably try to get her eating fresh fruit instead, for snacks, but I fear this will not work.
Sweets are one of her little pleasures, and as she doesn't leave her armchair much it seems cruel to deny her this. However, as it's affecting her health I will have to re-think what snacks I bring her. :-(
