My mom doesn't believe me when I tell her that it is past meal time and that she ate already. She keeps saying that was yesterday or it was 5 hrs ago or something. Because of her unstable sugar level, I don't always give her the extra meal. I am afraid that it will drive her blood sugar up the wall and that will result in her staying in the hospital for a week or so. When I don't give her the extra meal, she will tell my nieces and nephews to give her sugar water. It can get frustrating sometimes and I'd have to lie to her that we are out of sugar. I don't know what to do, I mean what can I do besides giving her the extra meal or sugar water? Thank you.
For breakfast maybe a 1 egg and a few hours later something else, that would take her to lunch and you can do the same thing again, a bowl of soup then a few hours later a sandwich and between a piece of fruit or maybe veggies and a dip.
Not sure how the meals spaced like this would effect her you might want to consult with a dietitian if possible and see how the meals could safely be spaced out over the day. (a phone consultation might be all it would take)
And look for things to keep her busy so she is less apt to obsess about eating.
