@Crocodile Oh we are very concerned about the weight. At least my in-laws, the extended family, and our family doctor are all very concerned. Husband's weight is the source of almost all of his health issues. Even the heart surgeon said there was no point doing any operations for his afib if he...

Thank you all for your advice and sharing your experience. Managed to get husband to eat clean for a few days, and his blood sugar dropped back to high 6's. So not as horrible as I initially thought. Also found a bag of milk chocolate in his office, which might explain a thing or two...

Thank you so much for the info and links @Pipp . Will point him to this forum and dietdoctor. Hopefully the success stories of everyone here would give him more motivation.

Hi All, If a person is pre-diabetic, how fast can they go to full Type II? Husband (now 38, morbidly obese, family history of diabetes on his mother's side) was hospitalized for heart failure over a year ago. Was immediately put on Warfarin, Furosemide, Ramipril, Spironolactone, Bisoprolol...

I try to sneak more fat in, but husband is sold on the 'fat = heart attack' that his nutritionist is still feeding him. He is eating more olive oils now. Also on the topic of ice cream, that is a tasty looking bar. Sadly I can't do toppings anymore. Feel physically sick after sprinkles. Just...

An update on Mr. Noodlez. The blood test came back, and he is pre-diabetic. Before the blood test results, Mr. Noodlez was admitted to hospital for atrial fibrillation and water retention . He is now home with 6 different meds. The cardiologist was far more concerned about the heart conditions...

Thank you all for the warm welcome, support, information, and humorous anecdotes. Husband mentioned his mother, one uncle, and a younger cousin all have type 2... On one hand I wish he'd mentioned it earlier, so I could have nagged him more about maintaining his health. On the other hand Mr...

Thanks for the link guys. Feeling more reassured. Still going to push for a blood test though. Husband does have weight issues and high blood pressure. Neither of which he is doing anything about, since most of his friends have similar issues too. Not sure what the logic is behind that argument.

Oops should have posted that too. Husband was 6.9. High chance he is pre-diabetic isn't he? ):

Anyone ever had ice cream in a moment of weakness, and tested what their numbers are after? Or tested what their healthy relatives and friends are at after a similar treat? I was 4.9 before ice cream, and 6 after 2 hours post ice cream + avocado + milk + beef and radish stew. No medication now...
