[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1734930, member: 41816"] I struggle with this too. My father is T2 and i have been through several turns of the wheel with this. But he has made some changes, and his HbA1c is lower. The real struggle is with my frustration. Seeing people you love hurt themselves is very difficult, whether is it carb addiction, Doctor worship, head-in-sand, fingers in ears, or aspirations of immortality. Someone else in the family has a cyclical pattern of good and bad eating. But you love them enough to not preach, don’t you? It is self defeating. They have to want to change, and you can’t do it for them. Lost my father in law a few months ago. Smoker for most of his life. He died of lung and kidney cancer, with intestinal bleeding, Dementia and T2. I have reached a grand old age where I would now struggle to befriend a smoker, a drinker or a practicing carb addict. If I meet them now, I will likely recognise them as great people and wish them well, before walking gently away. I’m not prepared to invite self destruction into my inner circle. There isn’t room for more. [/QUOTE]
