Advice for depression
Hi Doctor,
I feel my dad is suffering from depression. After he fell ill and was hospitalised for sometime due to his kidney stones, his business didn't perform well. So he had to close his business.
However, he being a father of two daughters, who are well settled in their career, he does not seem to accept the fact that his health does not allow him to work anymore. He is diabetic too and has lost a lot of weight due to overthinking about his early retirement. He keeps forgetting things and is always lost in another world of his thoughts.
He resists visiting doctors and does not take his diabetes medication on time, unless reminded of/forced to.
Please suggest how can we help him overcome his depression.
Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

Fluctuations in sugar levels
My mother was diagnosed pre-diabetic in July. Hence, appointed a nutritionist to take care of her diet. Her Hba1c was 5.8 back in July, which went up to 6.0 in Nov and back to 5.6 in December. Today, she just had her fasting sugar levels checked which was 107, Above the normal range. This in spite of the fact that she is taking fibre rich vegetarian food and done away with all fatty stuffs which contain oil and non veg.
She is not taking sugar except for morning coffee. She is taking more green tea and black tea without sugar.
Moreover, she goes for walk every day and works most of the time at home. Having flax seeds before meal. She is not having any of the symptoms as well. Could the reports be wrong any chance..?

Need Help Pls
Ok so recently while at night I have this habit to not get up to go and urinate while I have the urge to do so , Sometimes I feel like I need to urinate but then automatically I tend to just ignore it (I am quite a lazy person). The thing is I understand that it is important to urinate and empty my bladder I think to do so but again as I said I just ignore in sleep. Sometimes I feel like I did not get the message from my brain to go and urinate and empty my bladder or maybe I got it late. Like sometimes after a point where it cannot be controlled or the bladder needs to be compulsoryly get emptied , I get up and go and urinate.
Basically how should I be completely conscious about the fact that I need to get up and go and urinate. Pls help.

Reccuring sickness, sore throat, aching
So every year around this time during winter I get sick. It has happened for 4 years in a row the same sickness usually in varying intensity. A really bad sore throat, intense muscle aches, and throat burning/pain. Last year it went away and came back 3 times for 3 months and lasted about 3 weeks. I could live with it if it wasnt for the fact that its during swim season so my speeds take a hit, im in 3 choirs so i kind of need my throat to not be dying. I dont believe swimming has an effect.

Abcess on the right foot
Around 6 yrs ago my dad was diagnosed with the condition, had SMS jaipur neurologist take a look. They said that it had to be operated so we made up our mind to get it done but since it is lies exactly on a vein they said there could be some chances of complications as in like paralysis of the left foot so we returned from the O.T. untreated. He is a diabetic patient and has undergone 2 engioplasties. Blood pressure is always under control and insulin isn't required for sugar control. Untill now, the abcess is grown to some extent and it hurts if something touches it accidentally. There is no problem in walking or doing other stuff. In fact he walks two times a day for 6-10 km. Please tell me what to do.
