hi,my son was diagnose type1 at 16yr old which was a big shock to him and our family and I must admit I have been in denial thinking he was misdiagnosed.Anyway to start with he was very good with testing but this only last 3mths and there has been a steady decline since.drinking,eating junk food,basically having a blood sugar 20plus.he has ended up in hospital on three occasions.Yesterday he went to his diabetic dr(after missing numerous appointment)and dr has basically shocked him saying he will die young if he doesn't get sorted.fingers crossed this has prompted him to try and control.The problem is that he is 6ft and 16stone.he eats a huge amount of food all day.I am going to try and take over his meals but have no idea what to give him to keep him full and sugars down.A normal day for him is.breakfast - 2 porridge sachets with banana or two bacon sarnies,lunch he will have 2 sandwiches,2 chocolate bars,2 packets of crisp and pot noodle.He snacks on these all day at work(quite active job).evening will be family meal-spaghetti Bol,pasta or meat and two veg.Then after we go to bed he seems to snack on 5 choccie biscuits or cereal. I'm embarrased writing down the amount of **** he eats but I am determined to give him better alternatives.Please Please can anyone help in meal/packed lunch suggestions that he can have that will keep him full and he can eat a lot of.I work full time so don't have a lot of time to prepare foods but will make batches at night time to help him if needed.
thankyou
