[QUOTE="Mathilda Grace, post: 2020961, member: 503185"] Yes, that too. But that is just the "outside" problem and I can handle that quite alright. Me beeing constantly worried is so much more stressful. I talk with my family and they understand but the feelings won't go away. I guess, I just need reassurance that not everyone with a carb based diet is going to develop diabetes? I have a hereditary handicap, because both my grandmothers have adult-onset diabetes and my mother has some type of MODY. Diabetes is not prevalent in my husbands side of the family and not in the family of his ex-wife so my stepsons should not have a higher risk of developing diabetes than any other teen. These are the facts. I should be feeling relieved, right? But I can't. And that is what I struggle with. [USER=499223]@Listlad[/USER] : hehe, that sounds like us. Our boys too have to eat some kind of protein before they can have their preferred cereal (or Schokomüsli in german ;) ) or toast and nutella in the morning. Other than that they are very easy eaters. They eat loads of vegetables, they love steamed broccoli, paprika and other vegetables with peanutbuttersauce and brown rice, they have resigned to the fact, that there are no sugary beverages in our home and drink water or tea, they like meat, scrambled eggs and fish. The younger one is on a "beef trip" and would eat steaks every day if we would let him. But as soon as I am not there or it is not me who prepares the food, they turn to frozen pizza, pasta with ketchup, crisp, chips, candy. They know what would have been the right choice but, yeah, they are teenagers. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
