Hi. The age of 72 with diabetes and urinary infection with hospitalization and medicines make her sick. It may take a bit more time for the fatigue and appetite loss to cover. Most of the energy foods and beverages contain sugar so can not really recommend. Add on b-complex or mutivitamins. Make her ambulatory. The best thing is to ask her what she wants. Patients them-self can tell many times the remedy for such problems.
