Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 When my future father-in-law was diagnosed with type II, his team of doctors were thrilled to discover that he would be receiving vegetarian meals from us from time to time. We spoke with them about the type of meals we prepare and they said they would be wonderful for him to eat. Of course, I am not a doctor and would encourage you to go over your diet with your diabetic doctor and/or physician so that you know exactly what is right for you. Other than what we prepare for him, my future father-in-law pretty much eats like a teenager: fast food all the time, ice cream on a regular basis, etc. I think, for him, the only thing that keeps him 'going' is his two shots of insulin a day. His docs knew/know he will not control his diet in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 That's a shame your future father-in-law doesn't watch his diet. I used to eat very unhealthy but since I have drastically changed my diet I need very little medication. It's a good feeling when I check my blood and see that my levels are within normal range. A lot of people are like your father-in-law though. Just like anything else, you have to want to make the change or it won't happen.
