Rough background. MIL thinks statins are the best thing since sliced bread for FIL. She follows her GP blindly because ”she is such a good doctor”. Read that as she listens to her not due her medical knowledge
Anyway. She has criticised the foods I feed our family. Nowfor those that have seen my previous posts I was a real food plant based diet kind of girl but was then diagnosed with the big D. (She doesn’t know this). Reduced my Hba1c from 112 to 36 in the three months to the next test with LCHF and back to meat.
She thinks that I’m being a bad wife and not looking after my husband (her son and my interpretation of what she’s said) because I do low carb. She thinks porridge lots of fruit and bread is the best diet ever and constantly makes snide remarks about the semi skimmed milk I had and the roast chicken I served (with salad) that it was high fat. She’s obsessed with fat statins and cholesterol but can’t tell me her or my FIL’s cholesterol breakdown.
While I would just love to let it go, I can’t cope with the fact she clearly thinks I’m a bad wife and doesn’t approve of the diet we are eating. She presented my children with lots of sweets and didn’t seem to approve of the fact my husband has lost a stone and now at ideal weight. She says he looks tired and unwell.... he looks hot IMO!!
She is living in the dark ages with her low fat thinking and the fact the nurse says (lets all bow down and pray because a nurse says it) that Benecol is really good for her.
I could go on but I won’t bore you. Ahhhh!
I should add having started off rambling about her loving statins that he has all the classic side effects associated with them and is a shell of the man he was.
