[QUOTE="macdoug, post: 921554, member: 199955"] Wouldn't it be fantastic if he adopted a diet and lifestyle that would normalise his sugar levels and improve his health. It is possible and even easy to do if you know how and you have the desire. If he wants proof, there are many here doing it. I myself am one. I was borderline obese when I was diagnosed and just look at me now, a little over a year later. I started without a clue what to do. I was a hopeless junk food addict and my wife just considered me as good as dead when I got diagnosed. I knew better. I wanted to live, more than I wanted to eat and so it was easy for me. Wouldn't that be great if your hubby did that? I wish I could wave a magic wand for you but I can't, all I can do is listen which is all you asked for. I can't get your husband to do anything at all and I understand how frustrating this must be for you.
