Hi everyone I'm hoping for some advice.
My mum has always had a very healthy appetite, but in the last few months nearly every meal comes with the words, you give me too much, I'm not hungry, I've had enough. Mum will try to get away with just a cup of tea for breakfast and lunch and then a tiny evening meal. It's becoming a battle ground.
Mum is diabetic, she needs to maintain her sugar levels, but of course there's no way to make her understand. As an aside to that she's chewing everything so much before swallowing that her meal is cold before she finishes it (another reason not to eat) and tonight she thought the rice on her plate was cabbage.
I can't pretend to be Delia Smith, but my cooking isn't that bad. I know towards the end people no longer need nourishment, but mum is nowhere near that stage. Should I be worried? Am I over reacting and looking too closely, or should I be speaking to her GP?
Thanks in advance
