Hi all
I have type 2 possible 1.5 diabetes . I have a 14 month little.
I wondered how people manage meal planning when they have children/families to feed .
My little boy is not the best eater when it comes to variety he mainly loves rice or pasta all the things I can't eat. I feed him at 5 and then eat with his daddy in the evening . I would like to eat with my little boy as I think this would help with his eating , if he sees me eating he will also eat idea. We do try and do this at the weekend the three of us have a roast dinner which I ca usually eat cos I'll have chicken and veg just miss out the potatoes and any high carbs.
I'm struggling to make meals we can all eat which are good for my diabetes I feel like I'm cooking separately .
How do others manage it including finding the time - I work and don't have a lot of time to cook etc , once little one is put to bed I don't wanna be cooking late at night . I do batch cook some meals for my little boy but again it's things like pastas and rice which I can freeze for him
Any advice would be great
