I'm sorry, UB. I don't have any advice for you. My dad passed young (57), and had some mild cognitive issues, but my mom dealt with them and they weren't dangerous. You see the stuff from time to time that talks about how we start out as children and end up kind of like children, needing to be taken care of, not necessarily to be trusted, etc.... It sounds like your dad has reached that point and are (as most of those things allude to) having to now become the parent which has to be very stressful at a distance.

It sounds like the best thing for his well-being would be for him to be put into some sort of care facility or taken somewhere that someone could care for him (family, paid folks, whatever). Of course, that's a whole different sort of stressful, I'm sure. And while that might be better for him having his blood sugar monitored/maintained, health checks, food, etc..., it may not be best for him mentally (or maybe the regulated blood sugar would be an improvement).

Good luck and prayers for you, your dad, and your family, sir.
