Actually, I get the opposite. My (fairly toxic) family of origin decided years ago that I must have decided to be diabetic as a ploy to get attention. So if I visted they’d ply me with things I’m not supposed to eat in the spirit of “get over it.” Or they would do things like order out for a meal and say, “We didn’t order anything for you because you eat such peculiar things.”
Which is why I don’t spend a lot of time with them!
So I guess what I’d say is count your blessings that your family cares for you!
It really helps to find a few friends who deal with the same issues. That is why the online community is so helpful. Eventually you will meet a few people who live in your region and can get together from time to time. That really helps.
