Your partner feeling grotty could be when the blood sugar levels fluctuate high to low quickly, but feeling grotty and moody is also what comes with comes with having diabetes.The itching down below... then yes this is a common sympotom as sugar in the urine is a breeding ground for thrush, so i'd advise some cream as thrush can be passed back and fore...itching all over in general is also a common symptom if blood sugar are high.Eating plain food is a pain but nothing much can be done about that as almost all foods contains sugar.The internet is full of information go to diabetes.org.uk,this website also has recipes.

Your partner...who is more likely a type 2 diabetic (type 1s MUST take insulin...there is no way around that) needs to consult with a certified diabetic educator, as well as a diabetic nutritionist. He should also consult his endocrinologist (diabetes doctor).
If your partner does not take insulin (which is NOT available in pill form...it MUST be injected), he is not a type 1 diabetic.
Type 2s can manage with diet, exercise and oral medications. That is not an option for type 1s (I'm type 1 and I use an insulin pump...without it, I would die...end of story).
EMT
I must add that a new inhalable form of insulin is now on the market, although it is not widely in use yet. It is not recommended for type 1 diabetics. However, most of us are so used to shots that we see no reason to change (myself included) even if type 1s could use it.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Take other posters' advice - GO TO A SPECIALIST. If he was a type I (which he probably isn't, since he's on pills and not insulin), he would need more help than a pill.
Also type I diabetics can eat whatever they want, but type IIs usually need more guidelines. Please research this so you both don't get into trouble with diabetes down the road!

Um, Type 1 diabetics need to take Insulin, which is NOT in pill form. Type 1 diabetics need shots or an insulin pump. People with Type 1 diabetes make NO insulin in their pancreas and that is why they take insulin.
TYpe 2 diabetics take pills. Their bodies still produce some insulin but the body does not use it properly. The pills help the insulin receptors to work properly.
Please make an appointment to see a CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATOR who can help you with all this.

from the experts ..note each topic paragraph has hot links!
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.
Finding out you have diabetes is scary. But don't panic. Type 1 diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.
Conditions & Treatment
Arm yourself with information about conditions associated with type 1 diabetes, and how to prevent them. Conditions associated with type 1 diabetes include hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis and celiac disease. You will also find helpful information about insulin, choosing blood glucose meters, various diagnostic tests including the A1c test, managing and checking your blood glucose, kidney and islet transplantations, and tips on what to expect from your health care provider
Complications
Having type 1 diabetes increases your risk for many serious complications. Some complications of type 1 diabetes include: heart disease (cardiovascular disease), blindness (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), and kidney damage (nephropathy).
