[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 1020001, member: 29023"] Agree with the above poster. No matter how "unclued up" people can be, often understandably, somebody who has reached the stage of needing insulin knows the basics. There's no way he isn't aware that coke is packed with sugar, same with biscuits, even if he isn't clued up about carbs. He is choosing his likes over his health, and I think it needs to be acknowledged that some choose to do that. It isn't our business, no matter how much we care, to dictate how someone lives their life. The exception to this of course is where the lifestyle impacts on others, who are expected to pick up the pieces when it goes **** up. In those circumstances, I wouldn't hesitate to clarify that I would not be willing to look after them when their health fails - as it inevitably will. [/QUOTE]
