Mom (84) is diabetic and sometimes sleeps through meal and insulin times. Where to find a simple timer?

I have a pill reminder box that has 4 different alarms. I use it for timers. I have 2 of them. Also the alarm will ring for a time and set itself off. You can also turn it off but timers can be changed if you want or continue to be set for the same times. Maybe that would work for her.

I was talking to our local center for independent living and she recommended these little alarm thingies. Looks like Amazon has them for like $30. Big, bright buttons too. Name: Medcenter Talking Alarm Clock And Medication Reminder

Hey thanks guys....Mom is still mentally sharp. She'll be fine with a simple timer.

Oh, and you could set it for up to 60 minutes.

I bought a simple kitchen timer for my mom when she was in a senior independent living center because she would often fall asleep and miss her meals. She is also diabetic. It would have worked fine in the earlier stages of her dementia when she had only mild cognitive impairment. However, because of her progressing dementia she forgot to set it or even that she had it. I believe I got it at Walmart or Meijers and it did make a little bit of a ticking noise, but not bad. Since she was a little hard of hearing it wouldn't have mattered anyways. Not sure if she would have known how to shut it off as she was advancing into the moderate stages by then.

I set alarms in my phone. I have choices in sounds. I will use the sounds of nature when I want a gentle reminder. I know there are clocks that will do the same thing. I do not keep my phone with me at all times, but it will remind me that it is time to do something important and it will remind me when I am at work, out shopping, or cleaning the tub. I like the portable reminder.

Thanks Dave and Judy. I need to wake her from nap in 1 or 2 hours. Am going for visit after Easter and will have a timer to try out. Mom has suffered from depression off and on her whole life. We never know what will set it off but she just wants to sleep and misses her meals and meds. She knows as diabetic she has to eat but we've had some bad insulin coma events.

are asking to wake her after 1 2 hours 12 hours, 1 to 2 hours or every 12 hours ?
I don't think kitchen timers will be up to the job.

Browse Amazon to all the types of timers and alarm clock available.

I am looking for an alarm clock to ring every two hours without having to turn it off and reset it.

There are digital kitchen timers that make no noise except when they ring. Get them at Walmart, Target, or any store like that.
