On the other side of the weight loss sub-topic, I have a question. I've been desperately trying to get some weight onto my mom, who is diabetic, and wouldn't touch sweets, anyway- The insulin 4 times a day* that she takes doesn't work right unless she eats substantially, and she just has no appetite and won't keep doctors appointments made for her. Is there anything anyone knows of that boosts appetite (medical marijuana is not an option) and could put some much-needed weight ON to a 75 year old woman? Thanks.
*when she refuses to eat, per her doctor, she takes no insulin. So, her diabetic numbers can get way off, which inspires her to eat. Usually, we manage to get her to eat to take the insulin, but it's a struggle for her to be hungry, when she isn't.
