[QUOTE="zand, post: 965397, member: 85197"] Well I would ban all of the big carb items from the house for my son's sake. You are still only prediabetic, things aren't so urgent for you, but your son has been diabetic for a long time and still doesn't seem able to control what he eats. Yes I know he has lost weight but for him his BG control is even more important than his weight and he is being prescribed more and more drugs when the best way he can help himself is by sticking to a healthy diet (that's low carb). I love pizza, but never have it unless I am on holiday and can't find anything else I like. If everything in the house was suitable for akindrat then he would only have himself to blame if he snacks on junk the rest of the time. You and your husband would also benefit health wise as LCHF is healthy for anyone, not just diabetics. My son follows LCHF with me and he isn't diabetic but was diagnosed with a fatty liver after a bout of glandular fever. No, soup would not generally be a good choice for breakfast, unless it is homemade and you know what goes into it. Some ready made soup may be OK, but check the labels for total carb content. I opt for leftover veg fried in lard (any veg, just no potato) or bacon and low carb sausages or full fat Greek yoghurt with maybe a few berries. A full English breakfast without toast or potatoes would be ideal. There's lots of options there, but you have to want to do it. I believe if you could manage to do this then maybe your son would follow. In any case, at least he couldn't put the blame onto his parents anymore. [/QUOTE]
