I am worried about my mom. She comes home and drinks vodka and orange juice. She goes through a bottle a night and I am worried. Not only because alcohol is bad for you but seh is also diabetic. I think this could be very bad for her to be drinking . She doesn't eat anything all night so I try to fix her something. She won't eat it most of the time. Just sits in front of the tv and drinks. Sometimes I don't know if she is in a drunken stupor or having hypoglycemia. It scares me. What should I do? My dad works night shift so he doesn't have to deal with this at all. She is asleep when he gets home in the morning. I don't think he understands how dangerous this is. Am I worried about something legit? Thanks!

Hello, Guest. It sounds like your mother is heading on a dangerous path to destruction. I am sorry you have to go through this situation at such a young age. She will end up in what is known as a hypoglycemic coma, where her blood sugar will plummet so low that she won't wake up. This can be a situation where she may not recover. Are you able to get your dad to understand the seriousness of the situation? He will have to ultimately get your mother the help she needs. There will be a time when you will not be able to rouse her awake and you will need to call 911. Hopefully, they will get there on time to get her some glucose into her system. Be sure to tell them she is diabetic so they don't just think she is drunk from alcohol.
Is there other people who have had a situation of a loved one drinking excessively and diabetic as well?
