[QUOTE="daisyduck, post: 1734876, member: 5016"] Hi all and apologies, but I need a bit of a rant. I just can't seem to get through to my type 2 sister and close friend that they should be cutting their carbs down. In 3 years my sister has gone from pre diabetic to Hba1c of 53 and this year it's 67. I do nag her .....but all I get is I am trying, but I love my sweets and cakes ! My friend has been type 2 for many years and has gradually got worse. He's on full dose Met and Glicazide, has eye problems and real difficulty walking due to neuropathy. Today he said "I think I need some cereal.. I fancy CoCo pops." I'm a bit more tactful in nagging him and said .. Have you looked at the sugar content in those ? and all I get is hehehe yes they are high. I saw him drinking full sugar ginger beer and asked why he didn't get the sugar free ones.. his reply.. oh these were on offer so I bought loads ! I hate to see them doing this to themselves but will probably have to accept that I can't change them.. although I will keep trying ! [/QUOTE]
