I suggest Blood Sugar 101, not the cheapest and in American units (÷18 to get the uk units, conversion chart in back of book) BUT it will save your husbands life. It has mine. A month ago I experienced some bluriness and it frightened me enough to actually do some research. Up till then I wasn't really bothered. Just took whatever meds the docs gave me and kept eating my after dinner choccy buscuits. I was heading for blindness, amputations, kidney disease, heart attack, nerve pain in my arms etc and so on. I didn't even realise how dangerous this thing is. I count myself very fortunate that I've woken up hopefully in time.You both need to realise that its not his fault he has diabetes, nor is it because he is overweight - I am too - actually his weight may be due to his body's response to this metabolic disease.You can't cure diabetes, but you can control it and live a long and relatively normal lifeAll the best <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
