What Is The Best Medicine For Diabetes Other Than Insulin?
My Mother in Law is diabetic and refusing to take insulin. The Diabetic clinic have advised her to take insulin as tablets are no longer suitable. My Mother in Law lost her Father at the end of 2010 and is grieving terribly and has convinced herself that she wants to die. She is only 63 years old. How can I help her?
