welcome to hcm..i can see your dilemma ..there are 3 points here . 1 ..if you have any previous record of bleed as CT or MRI brain then it is ok as it may the result of bleed ...2 ...usually diabetic show personality changes if there are deranged kidney function which will be confirmed by b urea and serum creatinine ..then she needs nephrologist help ..3 ..your mother is simply careless as usually women are less bothered about their own health ..in this case she needs counselling by local doctor who is well known to her ..otherwise she needs psychiatric counselling ...if you find my response helpful please vote so
