I think you need help from his doctor, not here. When diagnosed did he not meet with a counselor to discuss what he can & can't eat to control his numbers?

You both really should meet with a dietician or diabetes counselor at your local hospital. His doctor can probably recommend someone.

As someone else said though, he has to want to do it. No amount of pushing and prodding can force him to eat correctly. You can do your part by making sure you are cooking healthy meals for him once you find out the proper proportions. There are a lot of diabetic cookbooks out there with great recipes.

I guess I'm just repeating what others have said before me, but I hope it helps.

if he will not listen, there is little you can do. sounds as if he is punishing you. He wants you to be upset about his eating habits. The more you nag, the more he will shut you off.

I have to watch my dh like a hawk sometimes. I just dumped all the diabetic no-no's in my house and he has been good ever since. he is on several meds for his diabetes,., The meds keep his sugar under control

If he doesn't want to listen there's nothing you can do. Even at 77 it's live and learn.

I decided years ago that I couldn't change my husband. He's an adult and will do what he wants. I'm not his mommy....can't make him obey.
