[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1729680, member: 451727"] Hi Clare, I feel for you. Regardless of what is causing the depression (whether it's her diabetes or something else), that surely is the principle issue that needs addressing professionally. How can anyone look after themselves or their health if their mindset is out of sync. It's so easy to attribute all ills to diabetes but who really knows the root cause of a person's mental health? There are no easy answers and it sounds like as a Mum, you are doing all you can. I think I would be putting the emphasis on her mental well being at this stage rather than her junk food habits. Easy to say because I know how hard it can be to access NHS MH services. Maybe alter your response so that it focuses on her welfare rather than the food choices?? Hope you are able to sort it. x [/QUOTE]
