Just had an e mail from my son (aged 42) to say he's been diagnosed with "off the scale diabetes type 2 and needless to say have been googling like mad and scaring myself. Can't get hold of him on the phone (he's not in the UK) I do know people with this but I'm worrying about "off the scale" and what that means. Can anyone offer any advice/support please. I know he's a man but I'm his mom and you never stop worrying about your kids no matter how old. Thanks.
