[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2478652, member: 355878"] If a person is a true type two diabetic, plain and ordinary, nothing exciting or added in, then a diet of protein and fats with whatever carbohydrates tolerated would be both healthy and benign. Eating such a diet would/should remove any need for monitoring, once it was established. Perhaps you could gently challenge your wife to eat a diet which is normal for a type two diabetic and should enable a person to maintain a normal eating routine and normal numbers. Many of the symptoms your wife seems to associate with diabetes are surely seen more usually in those suffering anorexia. I can only suggest that you continue to maintain your position regarding your wife's fasting and restricted menu and try to keep her in touch with reality in a calm and considered manner. As a full blown type two I have no need to fast to have normal numbers, my weight is stable, my stamina was much improved over pre diabetic levels. I wonder if your wife can take the exercise recommended for type two diabetics of walking some distance several times a week, or some other gently exercise. If she finds it exhausting then it might bring home the reality of a lack of nutrition. [/QUOTE]
