I need advice for my mom. She has diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, depression,and is overweight. My mom is going to be 49 years old this July and has all of the conditions that I listed above. She isn't taking care of herself, and I have tried talking to her, and it works for a day or so, then she goes back to her ways. I am trying to be supportive. I will not eat ice cream (one of her favorites), I switched to diet soda, and I am trying to set an example. I don't know what else I can do. I am 22 and have a 2 year old daughter. I want and need her to be around for us. She has been mentioning lately that if something would happen to her that I have to make sure to take care of my little sister, and she says that it is in her genes because her dad died of heart disease young. With all of the medical technology, if she takes care of herself, she could live a long happy life. HELP!!!

Summarized question: How to make someone take of self if suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, and is overweight?
