My mom has diabetes but she’s not taking it seriously?

BOOM BOOM POW asked:
M mom first had diabetes when she was pregnant with me, and it went away until i guess about a few years ago, and the doctor gave her ***** thing (im sorry, i dont know what its called) and told her to monitor herself from now on. Well, since then, she has done not one thing about it, and we all eventually forgot she had it, until today she told me that she did a free blood test at her work, and she was “embarrassed” because the tester called her out in front of everyone that her blood glucose levels are too high and asked if she had diabetes. Even more disturbing, she actually LIED to the tester and said she didn’t have diabetes because she was “being humiliated in front of everyone”. How can she shrug something off as serious as diabetes and be in denial about it? She doesn’t exercise at ALL and she’s always going out to eat with my step dad because they have all these restaurant coupons. I just don’t understand why she is acting this way…does she not just give a damn any more? My grandmother also had diabetes so this is definitley here to stay in the family….how can i get her to start taking care of herself and exercising and stop eating out all the time? Im really worried about her now
