Answer 1

Your boyfriend needs a serious boot up the bum. He sounds like he is strugging to come to terms with his recent diagnosis of diabetes and is angry and resentful that he has to take tablets/injections and modify his diet to cut out a lot of the foods he likes. He will need to manage his diabetes well to prevent serious complications over the next couple of years. Try and link him up with your local diabetes centre - they should have counselling there to help people come to terms with their diagnosis and help them manage thier condition. He is the one with the diagnosis and needs to be mature about facing it - or face some pretty serious health consequences. This will obviously prove to be difficult if he doesn't want to go. Some tips to help him at home would be to have ALL the food in your house diabetes friendly. this would mean getting some cook books to for recipes and ridding your house of all the lollies/soft drink etc. Set the example of how it can be done yourself. The kids can also eat the same food with no problems (actually healthier for them). If he tries to bring non diabetic food home then throw it straight in the bin and state that those foods will not be tolerated in this house. Be firm. Hopefully he will see that if you can do it - as well as the kids (and you guys aren't even diabetic) then what's his excuse?!
I wish you the best of luck. Let me know how you get on.

Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

I am in the low 6's and asked my Dr the same thing. He explained that the hbac1 # represents an adverage blood glucose level over the previous 4 months and that when it is 6 or under it just means that your sugars have been stabalized and well managed (way to go!) but you are still diabetic, just diet controlled. It may change and you have to go back on meds but for now keep doing what your doing!

Answer 6

Some people just cant be helped.
And just for the record, as someone has stated in one of the answers.
YOU CAN BE TYPE 2 ON INSULIN. Because you are having insulin shots does not mean you are Type 1.
It gets my blood boiling when people talk about Diabetes and do not know the full facts.

Answer 7

Tell him there's worse thing than death if he doesn't take his medicine.

Last June I was rendered immobilized because for 1 year I stop taking my insulin shot and i was diagnosed having cellulitis, a bacterial infection which easily infected any diabetic patient. I cant walk and hold anything. I have to take a vacation for nearly one month to recover. now i'm in strict insulin control.

I have a T1 diabetes
T2 diabetes usually doesn't need insulin shot but if they need means that they diabetes is really bad. He could lose his kidney...

Answer 8

first there is nothing you can do. I am a diabetic. I watch my diet and exercise. My husband is also a diabetic not taking any meds. I get him to go for walks with me(exercise brings blood sugar down) I cook everything in the oven and cook vegetables. I limit very much fried foods. I keep fresh fruit around(I catch him eating it too!) Buy sugar free stuff and let him do the rest. You have good intentions but making his mother "make him" do anything is only going to turn him against you in the end.

Answer 9

"he told his mother he would rather die than take his meds "

Which he will do, horribly. He will go blind. His circulation will be poor and he will develop gangrene in his feet which will need amputating. His libido will decrease and he will be unable to get or maintain (if he gets one) an erection. He could develop gangrene in his fingers and penis as well which will need amputating. His blood pressure will go through the roof and he will probably have a stroke before his heart attack.

I have type 2 diabetes. I take my pills, watch my weight, look after my diet and expect to live a long and happy life with a good sex life. If I can do it at 60, he should be doing it at 27 or he won't make 40.

Answer 10

You can take a horse to water but can't make him drink, so is the case with your B/F, looks like he is very scared and depressed and does not want to face that he is diabetic. You indicated that he takes two shots of insulin and 2 pills, that his sugar is out of control, he needs to control every thing carb to decrease his sugar and that may also be the reason for his behavior. Tell him to meat at fast food and not the bread or fries. Give him diet soda and may control his sugar and anxiety. He would need to be babied for several days before his sugar can be really controlled. How is the sexual function, that decreases with elevated sugar and make him depressed.

Answer 11

Well it sounds like he has the same attitude my brother has. Though my brother is not diabetic, i am. Its diffucult to change your habits, especially for stubborn guys. However if he keeps up this route of not taking his meds he will soon be in the hospital, and forcibly put on meds while there. He is killing himself though he is doing it in the worst possible way. If he does not shape up then he will be hospitalized and is on the route to an early grave. Dont use empty threats as they wont work. Let him know you do care, and that having Diabetes is not a death sentence though he is making it one. He can live a perfectly normal life just by taking his meds. Let him know that you will leave because you dont want to watch him kill himself. If you have to leave for a while. maybe that is what it will take. Otherwise there is nothing more you can do except get a group of friends and family and do a type of intervention. Thats my thoughts...otherwise i'm w\sorry to say he will kill himself on this path.
