[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2114631, member: 401801"] You already have been told the carbs are a problem and will spike him, yet still there's beer and pretzels, beans, and puff pastry. So yeah, that will spike him horribly, and he has a carb addition, meaning he will always be hungry for more of it unless he kicks that habit. (No exaggeration, it IS an addiction, hence there always being a need for more). [U][B][I]You did good with the eggs with bacon though. [/I][/B][/U]He really needs to figure this out, because right now it sounds like it's all on you, and honestly... It's [I]his[/I] health, [I]he[/I] needs to [I]want [/I]to turn it around. Cut out anything made with flour, meaning any sort of pastry, bread, pasta, cookies, all of that. No beer, that's liquid carbs and they hit his system faster and harder than solid ones, so that's not a treat, that's [B]sheer poison[/B]. Alcohol free or not is a moot point. No rice, fruit, no beans/legumes, no cereal, corn.... Just stick with meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheeses, extra dark chocolate, olives, leafy greens and above ground vegetables, berries are the only ok fruit, preferably when taken with something fatty like clotted cream... I [I]know[/I] it is a big change, but if he gets his numbers down, maybe that'll motivate him to stick with it. I know I've posted this before but have a read through again:[URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] There's a few meal ideas in there as well. I'm sorry, I don't usually come on this strong, but it's like the bunch of us have been talking to a wall. We told you it was the carbs, he eats carbs anyway, and [I]you[/I] get to be in a panic because his numbers are high! [I]Of course they're high, he's carb-loading.[/I] And that shouldn't be your responsibility.

I think you husband might need a kick in the bum, see what he's doing to you. And the finger pricking is less painful if you do it on the side of the finger, there's too many nerves in the pad. Good luck. But don't forget to take care of yourself too eh. Don't make excuses for him because he's a big man with a hard job. He's not the only one here for whom that goes, and they did it too.
