All of this. I use this tactic regularly and it is effective, find out what is important to him

Failing that, you could take him to a dialysis center and show him what his future looks like. He is probably running around 11 or 12 on his hemoglobin A1C, not too good, you want like half what he is running.
Thanks Tobra.

We had an appt with a Dr that has agreed to take him on as a patient. This guy is a geriatric specialist and in his words, has 100 other patients just like my dad. My brother took him for the blood and urine tests yesterday and I’m going to get him Alberta health coverage today. After this, the next step will be getting the cognitive assessment (not just the mini-cog that dad’s current Dr did).

Things are happening and we are not going to let him go back to what he was doing without a fight from us boys.
