[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 616109, member: 84857"] [USER=89907]@AnnieC[/USER] It is good to see that your husband is taking things seriously and that together you are managing to address this with eating a healthy diet and looking at the foods that you eat. However as [USER=17713]@donnellysdogs[/USER] correctly states my partner has been diagnosed with T2 for more than 10 years and has done nothing to help himself in that time.... In fact just to set the record straight I would estimate that he has been diagnosed with T2 for probably over 15 years ( I am guessing this as we have been together for almost five years and he says that he was diagnosed before he married his last wife in 2000...how long before that I do not know...). ....the other issue is that he is now retired (for the last couple of years) and as I am quite a bit younger than him I am still working and will be for the forseeable future......hence I am not around to see what he eats during the daytime and cannot be held responsible for what he chooses to eat or buy whilst I am at work or not with him..... I am really trying my hardest to steer him in the right direction in terms of what to eat and what not to eat but there really is a limit to what I can do.....especially as he seems to choose to ignore my advice and go back to his old eating habits. The worrying side of all this is that I can see the signs of damage and deterioration that are occurring as a result of an extended period of high blood sugar levels and that I am effectively unable to do anything about it. I wish you and your husband well and hope that he makes good progress with you by his side to help him. [/QUOTE]
