I feel both my parents are becoming "small" .. 😢

Both of them are becoming thin and just *shrinking* .. I thought I grew tall but no.. Im still the same height I've been since 3-4 years.

Other people too think my parents are thin and became smaller.

They're not that old! My dad is just 50 and mom is 45 years old..

What age do people start shrinking...is it common? Is it normal?

Its just so sad..my dad was so huge and intimidating and now he's losing that "rowdy" presence. 😢

Both my parents are diabetics with high BP too. Presently, their sugar levels are okay. My dad has changed his dosage since 3 months and doctor also said he could lose "some" weight. But he has shrunk too much! He's losing muscle...

Dad had diabetes since 2000 and mom since 2006.

What time did your parents have changes...physically? And when should I worry?

Do they bend...? I mean does their spine bend?

Share your experiences with aging or aging parents.. 🙌
