[QUOTE="copey399, post: 898720, member: 193670"] I can sympathise [USER=88720]@andreaabbott1[/USER] xx My husband has been T2 diabetic for over 10 years but just refuses to change his lifestyle or eating habits. He's progressed from pills to insulin but still eats junk food and gets quite aggressive or just laughs when I comment on the things he shouldn't be eating. He's had 2 heart attacks (minor fortunately but nonetheless ...). Since he retired a year ago he just sits in front of the TV from morning til night most days and sleeps. Everything's just too much effort. He says he sleeps all day because he has bad nights but that's a chicken and egg situation. Since I was recently diagnosed as T2 and did lots of reading and research on here I realise even more how his massive carb intake is doing him harm. He refuses to eat any veg except tinned peas and baked beans and lives on toast (with or without toppers). Plus pizza and fry ups etc. I've just resigned myself that you can't help those that won't help themselves but it's a miserable life watching him slowly killing himself. His brother has just lost a leg through a diabetic ulcer and even that doesn't motivate him to change. [/QUOTE]
