Message: <blockquote data-quote="yellowrose87" data-source="post: 1480975" data-attributes="member: 408268">Hi,My husband is a type 2 diabetic who is on metformin, simvastin and has now been put on Ramipril. I assume (thanks to google!) it is for high blood pressure - he wouldn't admit this when I asked him about it.He is obese and works shifts 6am-6pm with a 1 hour commute either side. He isn't helping himself and as such I want to try and help him.I'm afraid I'm not a very knowledgeable cook and I don't understand what he should be eating and what he should avoid. I do know he should be doing some exercise which is difficult due to shifts and sleeping on the sofa (!). He also hasn't had a decent sleep for years which has turned into this vicious cycle of sleeping during the day because he's tired and then not sleeping at night and getting up to drink and take toilet trips 4/5 times a night.Sorry to go on, and if you have got this far, thanks for listening to my rant!Yellow Rose x</blockquote>
