[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 343178, member: 17713"] I think that the only way to try and assist your son us to actually stop purchasing choc biscuits etc, no one.. Not even non diabetics need this ****, junk food in our diets.. It's not just diabetics... Try to get yohr whole family involved.. You cant stop him outside of your home.... But at the end of the day I am guessing that you do the majority of the food shopping? He is overweight whether diabetic or not Carb reducing is great.. We have fabulous roast dinners without roasties or yorkies..and honestly We dont muss them. We literally have the carbs at easter and christmas as treats... We also have bolgnese without pasta and curries... And they are good. Pudding wise we have a yogurt and fruit.. I love conference pears.. Still carbs from the veg and fruit and yogurt, or a sauce with currys.. But substantially less than before. If he goes to mcdonalds.. Tell him to look at the food value lists on the back of the paper protectors on the trays... As these give carbohydrates for all their foods and I would help him if he does have big mc's! My consultant put the fear of god in me when I was diagnosed 25+ years ago.. I was early 20's. My mum totally took over my food.... Even though I wasnt even living at home! She would bake 'diabetic cookies n cakes' which was the thing to do in those days.. She came down to my place and cleared my cupboards out whilst I was in hospital ( again different in those days,, 4 days on ward when diagnosed). Personally, I think you have to take control of the food that you have in your house as a starter... It will be hard though... [/QUOTE]
