[QUOTE="Kyi, post: 1090777, member: 211285"] I think I have some empathy for your MIL. When I was 42 and diagnosed with diabetes I did nothing because I did not understand the seriousness of diabetes and I was not in a head space that wanted to live life taking medications. It is easy to ignore when you do not see what you have to live a long life for. Put another way if you chose to eat sugars because you enjoy their taste and know that it will shorten your life, do you really want to remove it and spend the remaining time miserable, denying yourself treats? Everyone has to die at some point. Luckily I got out of that head space and started treating my diabetes with respect but it took a long time for me to change. [/QUOTE]
