[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1733847, member: 429870"] Given that you still think he needs to GAIN weight, why not nuts first? I do think though that it would be a good idea to get back to after-meal testing, to evaluate how various foods and quantities are affecting him. I and many / most Forumites find that eating more fat does satisfy. Perhaps if he could bring himself to eat a breakfast high in protein and fat instead of carbs, he might feel less desperate for sandwiches at lunch-time. Also, nuts and bits of cheese need no preparation and can easily be carried for emergency snacking. If he can control his bg, I know of no reason why he should get ill while travelling. However, I did know a very nice man who was diagnosed diabetic but paid it absolutely no attention. One day he went to Ireland on a fishing trip and fell in to a diabetic coma. Luckily for him the Irish emergency services did him proud and saved his life: he couldn't speak highly enough of them. He then began to take diabetes seriously, but sadly it was a bit late and the last time I saw him he had almost no feeling in his hands. If you think shock tactics might help, you could show your husband the Panorama "the Hidden Killer" documentary on diabetes. But be warned, it really is shocking.
