My family thinks I'm being too picky about food since my Type 2 diagnosis

I was diagnosed with Type 2 a few months ago and I've been trying really hard to change how I eat. My numbers have improved, which I'm happy about, but meals at home are becoming more frustrating than the diabetes itself.

My family was very supportive in the beginning. Now whenever I say I'd rather not eat something I get comments like "a little won't hurt" or "you ate that last week, why can't you eat this?"

Tonight they made chicken and vegetables, which was perfect for me, and then at the end mixed a huge amount of rice into the whole thing. I know I can still choose my portion, but rice is one of those foods I personally find difficult to manage, and they know I've been trying to have less of it. I was annoyed because it would have been so easy to just leave it on the side.

I know managing my diabetes is ultimately my responsibility and I don't expect everyone in the house to change their diet for me. I just wish they would stop treating every food choice I make like I'm being difficult.

Anyone else deal with this after diagnosis? Did your family eventually understand or did you just start handling your meals separately?
