Parents Not Taking My Dad’s Diabetes Seriously – Need Advice

My mom keeps giving my dad rice and oily food, no matter how many times I ask her not to. I’ve even told her to stop cooking rice at home altogether, but she doesn’t listen. My dad’s sugar levels are nearing 400, and he’s a diabetic patient, but she still doesn’t take it seriously.

Today, I told her she’s practically giving him slow poison, and her response was, “Let it be, we’ll die peacefully, why do you care?” My dad, on the other hand, loves eating rice, sweets, and oily snacks, he doesn’t care about his health either.

I’m so exhausted from trying to make them understand. If I push further, they start saying things like, “You’ve grown so much that now you’re teaching us? This is the day we looked forward to?” It’s frustrating.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you convince parents to take their health seriously when they just don’t want to listen?
