Have you tried getting him to go with you to a diabetes support group run by
a certified diabetes educator, the group helps both of you as there will be
others in the same situations and the educator also will give you valuable
advice too. There is bound to be one in your locality usually in a
hospital,and usually free too. you need support and to talk to others in the
same boat. also tell him if he wants to be around to be your helpmate he
needs to t ake care of himself. I know how overwhelmed he must be as I too
was there at one time and received so much support from the group it helped
me immensely. do try it, call your doctor,he should know of local groups.
God bless.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to talk some sense into him?
I don't know what to do.
374 and taking meds means either he's not taking his meds, eating really
poorly, maybe drinking, or his condition has worsened.
I was diagnosed type II 7yrs ago; and take pills am/pm. I keep it under
control by eating properly for the most part, and visiting the gym every
other day for 1-2hrs of working out including 25-30 mins on an
elipitical cardio machine; and I walk golf courses often.
My mother died not long after loosing her leg; as a result of her
insulin dependant type II diabetes and she just wouldn't get out of the
chair; my granddad on my fathers side was insulin dependant and died
from it, as well.
My wife feels somewhat like you so she often makes dinners that work for
me; and I appreciate that. She also monitors some of my eating habits,
and pills, and motivates me to get checkups, as well. She married me
for life - in sickness and health... and I did the same.
I owe it to her and our son to do what I can to keep myself as healthy
as possible.
Consider telling him its his responsiblbity to the family to care for
himself properly, so he's around as long as possible; that will only
happen if he eats right and exercises... Other then that, sadly there's
not much more you can do if he's thick headed and selfish, without
regard for the family. One things for sure - if he' hiding things; you
might wonder what else he's hiding and just how bad his condition is...
