Not op, but I worked with little with dementia for years and now I work with people with disabilities. Try meeting her where she is now. So she thinks it's all temporary. That's probably because she can't face it. Everytime you push, it makes her pull away more. Logic has no effect. Just act like it is temporary. "you can't live alone yet, for now, you'll live here, when your a1c is under whatever number, you can move." Just go with the fantasy.
For prescriptions, ask the doctor's office. They might know or could give you samples.
You may also want to connect with your area agency on aging or adult protective services. They might be able to connect you with some services.
Hope it gets better for you both!!

I'm my area, the domestic violence shelter puts men into a hotel room instead of having them stay at the actual shelter full of women recently victimized. They have access to do the same supports, they're just housed separately. Their website mentions men and same sex victims. If you need help, don't let "they probably don't have men accommodations" be the reason you don't seek it. You've survived this for this this long, you are strong enough!

Because there is a big difference between a lifetime of suffering (that could be prevented) and a normal life, ended soon so the animal can be used for food.

Not a professional, but: you didn't want to have sex. He made you. That's rape or assault or whatever. If you do that, you go to jail. You didn't put him in jail, his actions did. He wasn't a very good friend of he forced you to have sex even you didn't want to. You didn't tell him to force you, you didn't force him, you didn't didn't lie about what happened so you have no reason to feel guilty.
