There are a lot of choices you can make concerning foods
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
Your attachment to food is understood and even I would have reacted similarly had I been in your situation. It is possible that the therapy sessions you attended were passive in nature and limited your participation when making choices concerning foods.
Going a little more in detail, you can live life and eat healthy as much even with diabetes. I recommend you the link of XXXXXXX Diabetes Association and you can read for yourself and then decide the foods that you like to include in your daily diets. You can also constantly change your foods and try out new dishes as per your liking.
Please read the foods which are beneficial for you from the link provided below
