I could use some support.

8. I feel your concerns.

My husband is a Type II Diabetic as well. I make sure through my cooking that I keep meals nutritious as well as low carb.

He uses an Insulin pump system as well as a Dexcon Glucose monitor system. He sees his Diabetes Educator every other month to get the latest updates, etc.

Attend appointments with your husband with a Diabetes Educator. You will learn different ways of cooking as well as what foods, fruits, and vegetables are higher in carbohydrates in order to keep blood sugar levels consistent. When Blood Sugar levels spike too high or too low, that could signal DANGER.

The ramifications of uncontrolled Blood sugar levels can result in Heart problems, blood flow problems, Nerve pain, wounds that do not heal properly, eye and vision problems, stroke, Kidney disease, Pancreatic cancers and disorders, as well as clots. Insulin is needed to aid the Pancreas to aid in Insulin production. Diabetes is a disease that can be controlled through diet, lifestyle changes, and EDUCATION.

My husband's health issues started with his heart 40 years ago. Over that time since 1991, he has developed Congestive Heart Failure, Gout, High Blood Pressure. While maintaining an active lifestyle with a healthy diet, exercise, Golf, and his barrage of medications, he lives a good quality of life at 78. Yours can too.
