However, I can see a couple of obstacles that may stand in your way.The first is that your surgery may hand out the usual outmoded dietary advice of low fat, wholegrain bread, pasta etc. This already isn't working for you particularly well either in terms of weight loss or control of blood glucose. The advice already given above on low carbohydrate high fat diets works brilliantly for many of us. A doctor may also suggest certain medications that may help.The second is re-educating your son on how to cook for you. I suspect he may be good at spag bol or macaroni cheese and other carb based easy and filling dishes.Making salads, cooking vege in interesting ways etc may require support unless he is a born chef.Thirdly, are you and your son getting any form of psychological support? Does your son's school provide mentoring for children in caring roles for example?I hope that you are able to find a way forward.</blockquote>
