{Continuation to my last post

My mother has recently been diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus, some 6 months ago. As we have a family history of DM, I being a doctor, constantly kept checking her blood glucose levels due to which she has been diagnosed under the reversal category (i.e. her diabetes can be reversed completely as it is on its early stages).

Since she got to know that she is under the reversal category patients, she started consuming more sugar than she actually used to, before being diagnosed (under the influence of the thought that it is anyway going to be corrected).

The more I started asking her not to, the more arguements and fights between us. Finally, when my younger sister (her favourite) asked her the same, she stopped.

Now, since a few months, the atmospheric changes have been strange at my place. Somedays, it is cold and on some, hot which has led to common cold and congestion amongst the population. Same goes for us.

Now, alcohol in a therapeutic dose can become a helping hand in maintaining it (we call it brandy). Knowing this, my mother has been consuming brandy since a few months (almost every 5 to 15 days in a month) which has led to the increase in her fasting blood sugar levels to which I have been straightforwardly objecting.

In fact, to much of her surprise (not mine though), her medication dose has been increased because her 'controlled' consumption.

I even prescribed her the antibiotics but she still consumed brandy (alongside the medicines).

Because, I'm a bitch (in her opinion) and I speak complete nonsense and I have been after her for no reason, we always end up having an arguement in response to which I suffer the whole day. Anything minute I say, she takes it negatively and starts poking me.

My care towards them has no value. My sister loves me (actually everyone in my family does) but when I say her that she is wrong, she makes sure to insult me and my mother never intervenes. Later she does gives a disclaimer when we are done that it's me, who is at fault and I will suffer because of my attitude as my future husband will beat the shit out of me and divorce me. So I should better change.

Sometimes I think, I shouldn't tell anyone anything and let them go their way but then, they are my family.

Personally I would just back off. You know what you are going to get so why set yourself up?

When we are around people like this we are knowingly going in for a so called " hit"

You have the knowledge to educate but no one wants to hear it from you. I don't mean that to be offensive.

Is she your patient? Just curious

Nope. I haven't specialised yet. So, I consulted the appropriate doctor for her.

I got confused on the antibiotics, sorry

I tried to help my family with medical advice so I know what's happening somewhat. With me they would call and say what was going on and then get piss** that I dare make suggestions. Quite comical as they called me.

I stopped, if they don't want to follow what's in their best interest you can't control that. They will learn on their own.

My suggestion would be to compare to some of your patients. You can bring the education to the table but they don't all follow it. Of course we have the obligation to educate each and every time for them. It's not the same for people that don't want our input and are not under our medical care.

Yes, about the antibiotics, I prescribed her. I thought you were mentioning in general. Miscommunication 😅

I agree to what you wrote.

[Dolphin14 in reply to God-sFavourite]

It's the way I worded it. I'm sorry.

I wish you the best of luck with this it's not easy
