I'm going to predict the next arc in the story of Louie:
He has no intention of slowing down his diabetes. He wants his foot cut off, because he has disability checks on his mind. Cha-ching! The twist in the story, that Louie thinks will never happen, is that Mama Gags is going to pass away soon. The house is willed to the druggie son to take care of his special son. I'm sure the druggie brother is not going to have a obese quasimodo living in his attic rent free, and Louie isn't going to pay rent or take orders from his brother, and will be kicked out.
After that, a new chapter starts in the life of a wheelchair bound, obese loser moving into section 8 housing.
Louie might lie about Mama Gags passing away...again...but Louie will most likely croak long before his mother does. As I've stated before, Mama Gags has quite a bit to live for (such as taking care of her husband and grandson), and that's important for elderly people to live longer lives. My father in-law was a professor of gerontology, which is the study of old people, and he has always said the number one killer of the elderly is either retirement or losing their purpose in life. Since Mama Gags still has her husband and grandson to care for, she still has a reason to keep her living on and moving forward. Louie lives a shiftless, purposeless life. He sits on his fat ass getting fatter day after day with nothing of value to live for. And now he's got the 'Beetus, which he has absolutely no intention of addressing properly. He will definitely die early because he's too lazy to actually change his lifestyle and diet to prolong his life.
