Hi All,
A quick summary of our situation.
My wife an i live in Australia, and have had my Mother In Law staying with us for the past few months. She is due to go back to Thailand in several weeks.
She has Type 2 Diabetes.
From what i can see and understand, she has very little understanding of what Diabetes is and how she can help it with her diet.
She has been given tablets which she takes daily to help her with her sugar levels.
We have been monitoring her sugar levels while she has been here, and while i an not a doctor, i do feel that her levels are too high.
She is not overweight, and is well and works hard, so it is easier to deal with it while it is like that.
What we are looking for is a hospital/clinic in Bangkok where we can make an appointment for her when she gets back so that she can get properly checked out and get the correct medication.
Hopefully she will even get some education as to what diabetes is and what it does to you. She speaks no English, so sending her to see someone in Australia would be useless.
She Lives in Issan, and i do not feel the local clinic is providing the level of care that one might expect.
Can anyone recommend a Diabetes Clinic or Hospital where we can get her to go when she gets back.
Cost is not an issue as we will be paying for it for her.
I just want her to get the level of care that she deserves.
Thanks

Unaccompanied Mother In Law

Hi All,
I am sure that we are not the first to cross this particular bridge, and not sure of the best way to do it.
My Thai Mother in Law will be coming out to Australia soon for a Visit.
She has been on a plane only once and has never traveled internationally.
She does not speak any English.
We are concerned that she will not know what to do and get over anxious with the flight and customs/immigration.
We are contemplating someone flying up to Bangkok to get her and flying back with her.
This does add to the expense of the exercise though.
Does anyone know if the Airlines have an unaccompanied Mother In Law program, similar to a unaccompanied minors program.
Get her to the flight after check in, onto the flight, off the flight in Brisbane and through Customs and Immigration.
Or is anyone coming BKk to Bne late Feb 2011?
