My mother can't walk properly. She walks slowly. At first we thought it's because her age but she is younger than my father. She has diabetes. She has been suffering from memory loss since 2020. Now she is like a child but according to her age she should be fine. I am depressed that my mom is not the mom I saw. She was active, cheerful, and so intelligent now she is the opposite. She behaves like child. I couldn't think at 47 years old she will be like this.
Untreated or poorly treated diabetes can cause kidney failure and that leads to built up toxins, neuropathy and eventually death if not dealt with. It can affect the brain and act like dementia. It is not something that should be searched out on the internet, she needs medical intervention NOW!
doctor visit
CT SCAN brain
carotid artery scan..
full blood test
review medications and their side effects..
COVID related issues, like stroke?
UTI?
any other family members to help out?
I would have your father contact her doctor(s) to get her scheduled for every test possible to find out EXACTLY what is going on, as we are not doctors on here,(although we do have some nurses)and only they can give you the answers you all need.
Best wishes.
What is your mother's diagnosis?
