His mother was told he needed more vegetables because of his hi cholesterol. How can an 11 year old have high cholesterol? When he is with me, his grandma, he eats fresh fruits and veggies. He said he does not get them at home. Grrr. The poor kid is not getting the right care at home what is a granny to do?
It's probably not due to the diabetes…this is likely a genetic predisposition.
You can send veggies home with him, talk to his mother, or have him go shopping with mom to help her pick out healthier things.
