[quote=Anonymous]First off, this is not entirely your husband's fault.  People can eat junk all day long and not develop HBP, high cholesterol, diabetes. Since he developed HBP first he is likely on medication that makes him more insulin resistant.  Insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes and, yes, it can turn into diabetes.

Your husband could eat like an average coworker/friend/wife and the way he processes sugars/carbs is not the same.  This is a metabolic issue for him not just bad habits.

It is hard work staying on top of diabetes.  He can meet with a nutritionist but it will still mean limiting his diet in rather drastic ways.  Few people would readily eat the diet if they didn't have to do. It is not just calorie counting.

Op - I would suggest that YOU meet with a nutritionist yourself to learn about what your husband is up against.

Your husband may not be an avid athlete but I'll bet he enjoys walking around by himself and being able to see.  He needs to get control of his condition.
