He is not addressing a potentially serious health condition. That’s different to trying but not yet succeeding. If you marry the repercussions of that will affect you too. Will he have the same head in the sand/denial approach to other life issues you may face as a couple and if so that’s a big red flag to me?  More generously against that you need to weight the fact you love him and the stress of such a condition can be very hard and draining and maybe all he needs is some loving support to face up to it and he’ll be fine.only you know him well enough to know which situation this is.Only using insulin infrequently for 5 years makes that very unlikely to be type 1. Being type 2 so young (assuming same age ish as you) isn’t common though and diet really needs to be a major factor in management. Most type 2, especially those young and not decades into the condition are not on insulin.  There are lots of methods and medications before this.  Regardless of your choice for a relationship it’s in his best health interests to learn more about his condition. That means type, and options for management both lifestyle, drugs and daily testing.</blockquote>
