By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

blasphemy gets me " moderated " on here as quickly as it takes me to type it up . sometimes i wonder if its even worth trying .
I had sedation and no general anesthesia. I don't remember a thing.
with all the money ive saved on razors since 1979 i could afford probably a new sausage stuffing press and cool bail top jars for all my spices and dried goods .
and a couple of bottles of white out to label em with .
having got that off my chest , ill get back to labeling my cool looking jars .
Or, as another example from ten years ago, it would have been "is it a good idea for an 82 year old with CHF and hip replacement to go on a wildlife tour in Madagascar while they're having a war? No I don't think so either and neither does my friend in the Foreign Office."
And I don't suppose Liecomand's mother will listen any more than mine did. And I hope she'll be equally fine afterwards.
And it is also possible that Liecomand is a troll. :)
But you certainly don't need to leave this answer for me. Post your views! Just don't be surprised if your assumptions are challenged once in a while.
Valid point on diabetic 1 needing insulin. The 1 I know uses the pump and is thin and I forget he is even diabetic. He's very active and looks the picture of health. The 2's I know go off insulin for sure when they exercise and diet which always makes them lose weight. Just a side effect I guess. Some go off all meds. I lost a SIL at age 52 to diabetes. I just lost an uncle in November who was diabetic. He was 95. He was never on insulin. My Inlaws were both diabetic for at least 35 years. Died in their late 80's. Never used insulin. My husband is diabetic, no insulin. His brother has diabetic neuropathy. No insulin. His sister has diabetes. No insulin. He has four cousins with diabetes. But one died of a heart attack. One is on a wait list for a new heart. One of this group uses insulin and you guessed it, he's overweight. His wife had surgery to lose weight. She's off of all meds now. So I guess I picked up the idea somewhere that diet and exercise make people feel better and lose weight. When they feel better they might like what they see in the mirror and not want a face lift. Again, I'm truly sorry if I offended you or anyone else. It certainly was not my intention.
Aging gracefully is always more attractive plus if you eat properly, don't smoke, stay out of the sun etc., oh yes and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize you may not need one.
If she is determined I don't think her diabetes alone would be a deterrent, SIL had breast reduction with no complications.
According to Everyday Health, "Although you may be able to treat the condition with lifestyle changes, such as exercise and weight loss, and with oral medications at first, most people with type 2 diabetes eventually need to take insulin."
I don't know what your assumption that by losing weight and exercising she can get off insulin is based on, since we don't even know if this person is overweight or if she is type 1 or type 2. I wish that hearing the word "diabetic" didn't instantly kick off stereotypes in people's heads.
And, as a side note, the American Diabetes Association does not talk about "control" but "management" of diabetes. You go on insulin when other management techniques are not sufficient. It is NOT a sign of failure to "control"
your disease well. Believe me, the disease is in control. All we can hope to do is manage it.
