Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annb" data-source="post: 2735383" data-attributes="member: 25851">Yes, I was quite appalled when he said that the daily banana was a suggestion of his diabetes nurse.  He did acknowledge that he liked apple crumble, but would not eat a raw apple.  I suggested cooking some apple and keeping it in the fridge for use over a few days, but he would want to add sugar to it, so probably no advantage in that.  He would eat tinned pears, but not in fruit juice - only in a heavy syrup.  I think there may be something in the low self-esteem suggestion.  He told us that for the first ten years out of school, he spent a part of each year in prison.  Must have been for fairly minor crimes with short sentences.  He then met his wife, who seems to have sorted out some of his issues and he "went straight", but his wife died two years ago and now he's alone again - not law breaking but really not looking after himself very well.</blockquote>
