[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2281723, member: 521715"] [USER=526898]@Hambles[/USER] I would first have conversation with him and just double check it is either ignorance or inability that means he hasn't been trying to control it, and that he hasn't made a conscious decision to not look after himself. I only mention such a topic as I have an 85 year old with type 2 who takes the attitude that why should he deny himself anything at his time of life? In his view diabetes is about the mildest of things that could go wrong so he might as well still enjoy his food while he can. And I find that difficult to argue with. I, on the other hand, have decided to fight my type 2 as I am much younger and I want to keep my eyesight and my feet. My 85 year old already has poor sight, poor hearing and poor mobility due to age so why should he eat things he doesn't like? Hopefully you father in law has a different opinion, but you cant force him into anything [/QUOTE]
