| Hi there,
First, good for you for being so supportive and wanting to do what you can to help your boyfriend stay healthy. As a mom, I hope my son ends up with someone who's behind him like that.
Am I understanding it right that you two live together, and that visits to his mom's are fairly infrequent? If that's the case, then I think you could both concentrate on making sure he has good control at home. The odd "off" day while visiting won't be the end of the world, though if you go there for a longer stay, say over Christmas or something, then you'd probably want to make a plan. The reality seems to be that he's going to have to look out for himself at his mom's, as he would visiting anywhere else, and that might mean that he has to get a bit better informed. It will be much easier for him to say, "Mom, I need to measure my rice" or whatever than for you to be caught between them. You might also pack along some good alternative foods, so when everyone's mowing down on chips or chocolate cake, he has something he can eat instead.
Hope it works out.
