Hi Cindy…. Welcome to the group. Hope your grandmother realizes how
blessed she is to have you move her in with a goal of helping her. Actually
she must want to do it herself or it really won’t work for long, but if she’s
stressed to the point of being sort of confused and unable to help herself,
then you will be able to help tremendously, even if it means eating the same
foods that she does.
Does she like salads? I can’t stand meat either, but a great way to
start the protein and salad way of eating is to make a big salad with
whatever raw vegetables she likes, and put grilled or baked chicken in it. I
just use regular salad dressing on mine, because the light or low fat has
more carbs than the regular. That’s easy to do and can be used for 2 meals a
day. Until her blood sugar comes down, she’s going to stay tired all the

time.
For the stress, maybe you could coax her into letting you give her
back/leg/foot massage when her stress level is high. I’ve never known anyone
who refused a massage ! For myself, the easiest way to turn my stress level
to low is to go to my bedroom, turn off the phone and TV and get my
surroundings quiet and peaceful. A little music to meditate by or a good
book to lose myself in for a while works wonders.
Those are just a couple of suggestions. Keep reading. We don’t always
agree with each other’s thinking on this list, but will be a ton of good
suggestions coming your way. And I saw that thing on hydrogen peroxide too,
but didn’t order the book. Would love to hear what it says when you get it.
Kady
