I gotta say this again Dad saw his BROTHER DIE and it didnt even put a twinkle in his brain to quit...I quit the day I saw that....15 yrs ago...but dad still puts a straw in the Beam bottle... | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | OP Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Glad to hear he's at least taking it serious, he needs to get in a group to help him cope. Not yet he isnt ...I went over this morning and he was eating sugar smacks cereal and drinking orange juice...mom was just sitting there shaking her head... | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 | Still sending prayers buddy

Hopefully this will be a wake up call and life changer for your Dad. | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 94 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 94 | Sending good Karma to you and yours. | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,571 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,571 | your first line...He has developed diabetes and doesnt care....that is the way i feel sometimes & I have been to the dr amd now on meds but there are days I feel that way...good luck to U & he will be in our prayers. | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,398 old hand | old hand Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,398 | He called his dr this morning and gave him a appt at 1:30....he now takes 2000 met-forum, 1000 in the morning and 1000 after dinner...your prayers worked.....thanks for lending an ear guys...
we will see how it works the 1st few days will be rough no more sugar amacks, donuts, pastires, cookies.....he drinks a lot of Jim Beam and those people like there sugar when not drinking....yeah Im saying he has a huge drinking problem also..but thats another battle....at least he is checking his blood at home more than once a day.....
again thanks for your prayers I also take 2000/day and my sugar is all over the place. While working in India I have many days when mine is in the high 200's. I like my beer and so far I have refused to change. Reading your messages makes me wonder if I am doing the same to my wonderful wife. I don't think I am but it's hard to judge one's own actions. Glad to hear that your dad has started to treat his condition. God Bless! | | | Re: My Dad | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | OP Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Now I just need to work on his drinking condition...
