[QUOTE="Spencer67, post: 1477654, member: 154609"] Hi Bluelybell, welcome, nice name) It is really hard getting relatives and partners on your side as diabetes is very difficult to understand for most. Cakes and ice cream will become a thing of the past and they will eventually repulse you but you will see the people close to you still gorging on them and eating what they want because they can, without a care in the world. As diabetics we have to care about ourselves, at the end of the day it is up to you to take control of your lifestyle but those close can actually feel left out, isolated and confused when you embrace the path, but it would be good for them to get on board with the LC diet but sadly, in my experience, it is like banging your head against a brick wall unless they are capable of the most important trait required in an understanding caring partner that really helps you as a diabetic... empathy. Hopefully time will help them come round to accept your new choices, lead by example they say;) [/QUOTE]
