I don't have any words of wisdom I'm afraid but just wanted to say I feel for you as a mom. Fortunately my daughters are grown and have started to adopt healthier eating habits. My mom however, who has so many health issues including diabetes just refuses to make changes to help herself. I also have a learning disabled sister who lives with her who also has diabetes and it breaks my heart to watch what they eat. When my sister stays with me for weeks at a time, her glucose numbers get better and she loses weight. Still, my mom won't change things. It is very hard as a caring family member.

One thing I can say is keep eating your way and it may rub off eventually. My hubby is a carb addict and although he is happy to eat whatever I make for dinner, he has his high carb munchy stuff. He has started to make better choices as he sees me shrinking and having so much more energy. So don't give up, a shift may be right around the corner :-)
