They threw it all out

You need to make him realize that if you don't care of your self and you do get diabetes worse that it can totally interfere with your health and then who is going to help him and take care of him when your down and can't do the things you normally do. Tell him that diabetes attacks your kidneys,heart,eyes and other organs in your body and even you arms and legs. I had a friend that had both legs and one arm amputated due to severe diabetes and also his kidneys shut down and his eyes were so bad he was practically blind. So you gotta take care of yourself for you don't get the full blown. My mom has it and she has so many problems it isn't funny nor fun to deal with.

I would still buy what I needed to eat to save self. He shouldnt ask you not too, But sure was nice of them to clean house for you

Stop being controlled by your husband for one. The other matter really shocked me, How do these people dare to go into your freezer and throw out stuff. People are not very well informed about diabetes. They think it has to do with sweets and a sweet tooth. Wrong, wrong. It has to do with carbs that turn into sugar. Your pancreas secrets insulin which is like a key to open up the cells to absorb the sugar which all our muscles need. With diabetes either not enough insulin is produced or there is insulin resistance whereby the insulin does not open the cells properly to absorb the sugar, or both conditions exist. Insulin resistnce occurs mainly with people who carry too much fat around the middle. Your waist should not be more than 35 inches. I have been told that lossing even two inches around the waist makes a huge difference. Reading food labels becomes increasingly important for diabetics. You are quite right about light rye bread. It contains no fiber and it is not good for diabetics. All green stuff is though, including lettuce. Good fats are avocados (small quantities, at one serving 1/8 of an avocado) butter, cheese and nonhydroginated margarine, olive and canola oil and all kinds of nuts and seeds in small quantities per serving. I urge you to get the poster by the Canadian Diabetes Society. It is called "Beyond the Basics", Meal Planning for Healthy Eating. Diabetes Prevention and Management. It shows the quantities for vegatables, Meats and Alternatives, as well as fats and carbs and fruits that should be consumed in each meal. It is excellent and very clear. The quantities are shown in pictorial fashion. There is a lot of compromise that you can make with your husband. You can get whole grain bread for yourself and light rye or white for him. You can still get butter and and have only a teaspoon full for yourself. You can freeze some of each kind of bread so it does not go stale, The phone number for the Canadian Diabetes Society is 1-800-226-8484

You get what you need so that you don't get diabetes!! Don't listen to your husband. Does he want you to be an invalid or an amputee? Doesn't he understand how serious this is? I don't think he does, a lot of people don't. They just think you have to watch what you eat and don't realize the heart trouble, circulation trouble and other life threatening things are caused by diabetes. If he won't listen after you tell him about these things--show him some graphic pictures on the internet!--stand your ground and get the foods you need to control your condition before it gets worse. Why in the world would they throw out things in your freezer? It was very nice of them to clean your house but I wonder why they would throw away perfectly good frozen food? There are a LOT of people who have no idea what it takes to prevent or control diabetes but it's too bad they took it upon themselves to dispose of such good (and expensive) food.

You do it anyway, girl! Your health is the most important thing here!! He does NOT want you to get diabetes, because that will end up costing you guys more than what a few groceries will cost you now. Do it!! It sucks that your friends threw that stuff out, but you need to go out and buy it again if that is what is necessary to keep your blood sugar in check.

First off, they had no right to throw your things away. That being said, you get whatever you need regaurdless of whether or not your husband wants you to. It is your health and your body. You need those things to control it, and he has no right to deny them to you.

Why does your husband not want you to eat healthy food, and manage your condition before it comes a condition? I don't understand that. I'd say "to heck with what he wants me to eeat, I'm going to eat what I need to!" Also, I'd ask your friends WHY they threw that food away. I would want to know.

You should eat healthy food to keep your sugar in control. Pills are not solving any problem. Maybe your husband thinks that you can eat whatever and load your body with tons of pills. You should buy what you need for your health....

They did a nice thing with the cleaning but they overstepped their boundaries when they got into your food. No one has the right to throw away anything in another persons house especially food, even if they are family or friends. They should have to replace what they threw out. As far a your husband not wanting you to buy food that will help you avoid full blown diabetes. He is a selfish fool in my book. If you love someone you would do whatever you could to keep them healthy. You do whatever you have to do to get the right food for yourself and maybe even change the way he eats as well, it will make him more healthy when he learns to eat healthy. Tell him you are trying to look after his health as well as your own. If he disagrees then tell him you are going to do it anyway, then do it. Don't ask him, he isn't your father and you don't need permission to eat right. Gee if my husband had ever said anything like that to me I would have walked out and never looked back. Just because you are his wife doesn't give him the right to control you or the way you eat. He doesn't own you, that would be slavery and they did away with that years and years ago. Men! Sometimes you just have to put them in their place.

I think you should buy what you want too..Hubby should NOT tell you what you can or cannot eat...Its YOUR life you are dealing with here...I think certain things , like YOUR food , should be your business..not hubby's....

There is no reason for anyone to come in and throw away your food. Why were they cleaning your house? I think that I would be upset if my friends were to do this. No matter what your husband says take care of yourself. If he has to see the grocery list, just buy the items you need seperately and don't show him the receipt. I would tell him that I would buy what I needed and that would be the end of it. He sounds very controlling and I hate that.

Why would they throw something away from the freezer in the first place? If they saw something on the counter that was rotten it would be one thing, but to go into your freezer? That makes no sense. Nuts are good for diabetics, so I can't imagine what they were thinking. Did you ask them?

I would ask them what the heck they did with the stuff and if they tossed it they need to replace it.

you can eat little by little. then you can feel your body reaction of the quantities of foods that you have eated.if you eated much than you can digest,you can feel not well,such as the headache,this kind of headache is not like ordinary headache,is kind of the headache with some fever on your head. this kind of headache is not like the normal headache. it company with a fever feeling.the other way is that you can eat the green vegetable foods,a lot of such this food can be fill with your stomach.and you can not feel the hungry.but from my experience,the key of diabiet is to control the quantity of what you eat.do not eat much for what you have digested. it is much important for you all time.

Those kind of things are fattening, as long as you dont suck butter cubes down by the box i think you will be okay, but it is those things that you need that give you diabetes. Just you need to watch your diet and weight.
