Hi, Congratulations for getting through nursing school! I'm a nurse too and I remember (no matter how hard i try to forget) the stress. I was a late booomer too, not going back intill my son was out of school. My BIL is diabetic, just had a stroke. My sister is in charge of his diet now and is doing a wonderful job taking charge. He wouldn't follow a diet before, just ate what he wanted. Total denial. She has him on a Diabetic diet. Had you studied that already? He doesn't even have to take his blood sugar any more it's so regulated. And he's lost weight too. Eating more food that he ever thought possible. dieting is great, but nutrition is important too. Sorry, but these diets don't work for the long run. You, and your husband need proper nutrition.
Good luck to you, Freda
