[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2103067, member: 345386"] [USER=511442]@Waterlady[/USER] - We're big foodies in this hacienda too, and you can imagine we were both a bit gutted when I was diagnosed back in 2013. When we're at home, my OH and I always eat together, and prior to diagnosis always ate the same (as each other). The only thing that's changed there is we don't have quite a same breakfast (he tends to have yoghurt with fruit, and I tend to have rhubarb with yoghurt), and at lunchtime, I'll often have a (big!) salad, and he might have a sandwich. Our evening meal, we still eat the same as each other; but he might have either more carbs than me, or additional (different) carbs. Of course, there's a transition period whilst things settle down, and of course that has bumps on the road. It'd be disingeneous to say otherwise, but, caring about him, as you clearly do, you'll get there. There's some great stuff to eat, it's sometimes just change and additional thought, in the early days that can becme tiresome. If your husband transpires to be T1, he may have a bit more flexibility, in terms of eating, but best not to get too wedded to T1/T2 in the meantime. One very important point I willmake is that with his testing, if his numbers rise quickly, and go into the 20s, then you should seek advice sooner rather than later. If his numbers go into the 20s and he is sick, or generally feeling vile, seek help immediately. I don't say that to frighten you, but because if he does have T1, and his condition is progressing, it can happen quite quickly. As others have said, it'd be good to "meet" the man himself too.
