[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 898557, member: 17713"] If he refuses insulin then what can GPs or yourself do? [USER=84857]@Molly56[/USER] has a similar sort of scenario in a way to you but is managing some aspects of being the carer.. As indeed you both are. The only thing I will just add in to this.. In a number of families there is one person that is the "feeder" ... The person that does the cooking.. Sometimes just 1 person doing the shopping as well. Are you the "feeder" or your hubby? Or do you possibly do tbe shopping together? There are small things that you can do-although it doesn't stop your hubby going out and buying himself rubbish good. For example instead of having say bread purchased.. Change it to protein rolls from Lidl or oatcakes.. Try making delicious blueberry paleo muffins instead of doughnuts etc.... You say he sulks and makes his own food... Then the andwer would be not to purchase the items that he makes his food with.. You say you've tried the whole healthy eating...have you ever emphasised to him that the food you do is healthy or healthier than his?? This could be emphasising his choices in the wrong direction... Is there say a reason why you couldn't say cook a roast dinner and load it up with veg, serve it and then say... "I forgot to buy potatoes" if the lack of them is mentioned? Statins and products with aspartame in can cause pains in places that you describe...but the chances are this would be also alongside neuropathy from your description. We will try to support you through this but you cannot make your hubby change. It is only your hubby wanting to change that he will do it. I myself have a hubby (non diabetic) that had amassed fat... He was killing himself for best part of 15 years but change only happened when I found a superb private counsellor and we went to see him together. My hubby didn't have any ownership of the impact his actions were having upon me until the 3rd party counsellor told him straight. Best thing this counsellor said was to discuss things over a table opposite each other.. Even when discussing small things such as shopping lists as it professionalises discussions. The GP sounds awful but again if he has been missing appts he is lucky not to have been removed as most GPs now are removing patients if they miss 3 appts in 6 months. Some GPs have more stringent lines that they are following for removing patients... [/QUOTE]
