need advice.

Hi, I need some advice.
My bf has type 1 and I have done everything in my power to understand diabetes, and to help change everything in our diet so that it will help him. I go out of my way and make every effort to make and buy food that will help him keep his sugar down and allow him to be able to eat more of that meal. Im trying to support him in everyway that I can and I these somewhat minor changes are a big step.
Yet Im frustrated. His mother doesn't make these changed for him nor does she bother to learn why it would be important. His dad is prediabetic and his little brother has gout (an old mans condition at age 23) and I would think she would welcome the changes that could be made. Yet she seems to belittle all the effort I make by saying "i just feed him whatever I make and hes fine" "don't worry about making other things for him". yet it seems when hes at her house hes either really high or on the low side. He doesn't see them much since they are 3 hours away, yet this nonchalant way of thinking is frustrating and it really hurts my feelings. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
