Frustrated with T2D and family
I have had T2D for 12 years. I have hard time getting family members to understand the importance of following my meal plan. You wouldn't offer an alcoholic a beer. Or a recovering addict a joint. But I have family that knows I am diabetic and they bring over stuff I shouldn't eat. Especially my weakness, cheesecake. I have tried and tried to explain but they say oh it won't hurt you. Umm yes it will. Maybe a small taste won't but it will turn into too many small tastes.
