How do i get my hubby to take his health seriously?

If I were you I would force him into a good diet. Cook only diabetic approved foods and I would raise so much H-ll if he ate fast food or twinkies that he wouldn't dare do it again. I would also use his own love for me against him, you know the old if you loved me you would do this. What it really comes down to is there are serious health risks associated with diabetes he really needs to get it under control.

Until he starts feeling bad effects from his diabetes, he will probably continue to do as he pleases instead of doing what is wise. YOu didn't say if he is taking medications for his disorder or if he is using a glucometer so I have to assume that he hsa both of those things on board. You might try buyin only those items that are best for his didabtice diet, but he is and adult with his own money and will find ways to purchase what he craves. As much as we love our spouses, trying to motivate them to do what is best is often not worth the damage it does to the relationship. It might be best to put his eating habits aside and enjoy those aspects of him that don't make you nuts. With time they wo't be quite so noticable to you and his health issues can be dealt with by his doctor.

sometimes i would do the guilt-trip on him. i would make him feel guilty for doing/taking in things which are bad for him. i'd tell him not only to think about himself but think of our child who may grow up without him if he continue on. sometimes it works, sometimes i need to think of a new strategy to get him on his toes.
