Hello and welcome @Coco-007
There is info for new members just below my signature in this post. Have a read, then come back with any questions you may have. It seems you have already discovered low carb way of eating. Does your husband also have access to blood glucose meter for monitoring how what he eats affects his levels?

I also suggest that you encourage your husband to join, too, so that he can ask questions and gain insight himself.

If you have reduced the carb content, have you increased the fat content of his diet. By that I don’t mean doughnuts and the sort of fats in highly processed foods. More of the healthier stuff, olive oil, nuts and seeds, full fat milk, or cream, cheese, oily fish, bacon, eggs.

Some good ideas in here

Hi, Yes he has the finger prick tester But the cat has ran off with the pen bit (The bit you stab your finger with) LOL. We have yet to find it. He's not that keen on the 14 day patchiest. We got one yesterday and the size of the needle point put him off. (Baby) lol.

You can use the fingerprick lancets without the pen bit, but that might take some more bravery than he has available.
As for the Libre, I promise it doesn't hurt to apply them!
You could sneak up on him when he sleeps of course, he'll wake up from the noise, applying one is loud, but that's only after the sensor will already be on his arm...
Not sure if this is a good idea though, I don't want to ruin your marriage!

It's very easy to accidentally follow a low calorie diet if you remove the carbs but don't replace them, like @Pipp said.
There is a thread where people share their meals, you might like it for ideas. : https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today-low-carb-forum.75781/page-2931
