This is so true Shannon. Most people at this age do not even care about primary care physician, instead they spend their income on fanciful things. If possible, the family needs to be involved if the patient is closed to home. There has to be visiting nurse at least thrice a week to check blood sugar and weight and reinforced good nutrition, blood sugar monitor, medication, signs and symptoms of DM and the precautions. Patient needs a podiatrist on how to cut her nails, she should be advised not to scratch herself so hard because a little cut could result in same incident and eventually lead to gangrene and later amputation which would be more distressing.
