some

Question by the_thought_occurs: I work in a retirement facility, some residents are Diabetic and my boyfriend is also……?
this one resident is Diabetic and drinks a glass of apple juice or 2 with dinner. He has not drank the juice last couple of days and has water. I want to add he is very overweight and always sits in a Scooter, his wife always gets on him to eat less sweets after dinner. I’ve talked to him about my bf and his eating habits and all. I don’t know what kind of medication the resident is on, but he is all of the sudden worried about his apple juice intake. I’ve worked there 2 years, and this couple knows me very well, I don’t want to him the wrong thing so I asked my bf. He said it depends on the medication. I’m working tomorrow and will see the resident, any advice???? Thank you
I would just like to add this……….I would never risk my job and tell this resident something I really know little about! I serve the residents food, we have a nurse there Mon-Fri. Thank you all for the advice and information.
