Message: <blockquote data-quote="Swizzlebob" data-source="post: 560231" data-attributes="member: 111919">Thank you for all that.My husband was adopted as a baby so no family history is known, but his adoptive dad had un diagnoised  type 2 diabetes, so he/we are well aware of the risks involved as he suffered a few amputations and died of heart failure caused by diabetes at 67.My husband has always been large and I am supporting him in losing weight. The Gp seems on top of things and he has already seen the practise nurse and has hie special eye test next week, along with another meeting with the Gp to talk about DESMOND . The nurse said she will see him in 4 months to do some more tests.I myself have a chronic illness,CFS and am undergoing tests for MS, so it looks like things are going to be fun from now on!?Am I wrong in being worried that his blood sugar seems very high? Can diet and exercise bring it down to where it needs to be?I am confused over the diet he needs to follow, he has lost about 1/2 stone since he first saw the Gp, by following a low fat diet and cutting out chocolate, ice cream and cake and biscuits, does this sound ok?</blockquote>
