Maybe they'd want to help out, maybe even join in themselves???
Actually when he was first diagnosed he made a big deal about how carbs are not something he wants to cut out but something he has to eat more of.
I can see her point of view when it comes to not wanting to learn in the sense she has alot of learning problems and having to count or add things up sometimes can be hard. I know alot of this confuses her. For example; she stared looking at the percentage of things and I had to explain to her why not to, yet she still does it and I have to constantly say 'remember were looking at the actual numbers, not percentage'.
Also "Does he know much about his own diet or are you looking after him (hope that doesn't sound harsh, meant as a simple question)"
Well honestly he knows the basics of his diet, yet your right i do look after him more than I proabably should be. And no it didn't sound harsh.
But your right, Ill make food and he'll as me what he can have or I'll just tell him and when we go out he always askes what he can have or we disscus it before hand.
