[QUOTE="day007, post: 201218, member: 24902"] [b]Re: Diabetic son will not stop eating high sugar and high ca[/b] Hi, can I please encourage you NOT to put a picture of an amputee in he bathroom, I can completely understand how your son is feeling and that is just going to **** him off even more! And that's only going to make him less likely to listen to you. I think the suggestion of saying he CAN have pretty much whatever he wants to eat but to cover it with the insulin is the right way to look at it - I went on a DAFNE course and that is the exact point of it, you can eat what you want (ok, so maybe not JUST a mars bar for dinner, but pizza and a mars bar yes!) also I don't see what the problem with 'chips McDonals and Pizza Hut' is from a Diabetes POV - none of these are particularly high GI. They are not healthy options, but that's what his friends are eating and it's not a diabetes-specific problem so that does just sound like you're trying to be more controlling and getting him to come home for dinner when he'd rather be out with his friends!
