Wife of a Diabetic

My hubby is a type 2 diabetic of 30 years. He has Gout, HBP, parkinsons, hyperlipidemia, ophthalmic migraines, sleep apnea, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, degeneration of the spine, obesity, & 3 bypasses. His insulin is 5x concentrated over normal doses. No exercise…non-compliant. This blog is a documentary of the progress of his disease....and a place for me to vent, so that I can continue to love and support him. All of my anger goes here. This is not the wife he sees.

He can't stop

Tonight he ate a 1 pound of box of specialty chocolates after lunch and dinner at restaurants.

All I can do is pray.

I am just watching my dh just rot in the chair will not take sugar levels, barely takes meds.
Thinking of calling doctor up he acts as if he has given up
Would you suggest calling dr; 1/24/2012 5:36 PM

So I went with him to an appointment and the doc and I convinced him to sign an authorization so that the doctor could talk to me. We have since done that with all of his specialists.

My logic is that if he goes into a sugar coma...I NEED to be able to communicate with his physicians.

So yes, I would contact his doctor. He could be going through a bout of depression and maybe all he needs is medication. If you can get him to go see the doctor, that's probably best. But again, it all depends on your insurance how much the doctor can tell you.; 1/24/2012 7:28 PM
