Hi Friend,

I am sorry for what is happening... But certain people would not listen to us... They think they are managing things... The only suggestion I can give is that along with him you also be on diet and have chapathi's in night without oil and lot of veges along with it.. Avoid using vegetables or fruits or anything which produce sugar while cooking... Give him bittergourd as much as you can in the form of juice of any other form... I believe you know venthiem.. Soak them in night and ask him to have it early in the morning in empty stomach... If he doesnt want to have it then tell him that you can eat other stuff only if you have these 2 thing early in the morning... Try eating more chapathies as much as you can.. when you are making chapathi dough dont mix cold water in atta, use hot or boiling water to make dough... dont buy any sweets or oily items in your house... if he feels hungry trying giving him things which reduce sugar.. May i will check out and let you know what all he can avoid eating and let you know....

With Regards,
Rekha

hi,
it is perception of most indians that if a person has diabetes he should completely avoid rice. I agree doc say to avoid rice as it has more carbs and forms of sugar in it. But diabetes comes due to tensions/hereditory.
If he is eating one time rice then nothing to worry much. I believe u r south indian ; and most of south indian rice is essential in meals.
Some of the diets you can implement is avoid idli, dosa ( as these are made of rice), avalakki(poha), rava items which are made of rice. Instead you can look for recipes which are wheat/jowar/ragi based.
Introduce only one time meal as rice and other two times have lot of veggies/wheat and other forms of carbs.
Prepare sweets at home with sugarless items ( lot of products available in market)

Diabetes doesn't mainly start by food it is tension/stress happening in our life.

you search on internet problems occuring due to increase sugar the health problems take a printout and show him or if possible put it somwhere where he can see. once he understands the problems he will listen to you definetly.

Hi....
Why dont you let the doctor tell him that eating like this will cause problem be it young or old... I know how tough to control H who doesnt listen to good words of wives and danger is they may eat outside without wives knowledge so its better dont fight with him at home instead ask doctor what to do thenprepare sweets with less amount of sugar in it... Diabetics often crave for sugar...
