[QUOTE="smw99, post: 1817284, member: 309704"] Yes he needs to take responsibility for himself but if you mostly do the cooking and the shopping you could decide to eat a healthier lower carb diet yourself. I do that and I rarely cook anything I now consider poor quality food for anyone. That means the meals I cook when my family visit or when friends come over are low carb. They are also delicious! My husband eats a small amount of muesli for breakfast before a 2 egg mushroom and spinach omelet, sometimes has a slice of toast or bread and eats naan bread with curry. I never cook pasta, potatoes or rice at all. He says he feels much better for it. A lot depends on your relationship and whether this is possible or not. It is hard when many people do get a clear message from their doctor/nurse that you can eat what you like and just take the pills. They also tell you diabetes is progressive which it is if you follow their advice! If you decide to change what you eat, you may feel more in control and you will almost certainly be healthier and he might just start to change a but. I do so hope things improve for you. [/QUOTE]
