@21hens-incharge I have not read the past 60 posts, I don’t have time this morning. This is my advice, use what you want.
Don’t overwhelm him or you, it is all new. The doc will probably send him to nutrition & diabetic classes.
Small changes gradually.
Never criticize what he eats. Never! He is a grown man and can make decisions for his own body. Do not step into being his mother. Keep all opinions to yourself unless you are asked.
My husband drinks a 2L Coke Zero a day, will come home with a bag of twizzlers, etc. He purposefully ate like crap over the holidays to see how it would affect his A1C, and it went down. Not the poster boy for diabetes!

I am with you on that.
This didn't happen overnight. It won't go away overnight.

I sure don't want him resenting efforts to eat better.

Now ....... The weird part.
Out of curiosity I did a glucose test on myself. (Seriously I have felt like carp for years)
My reading was also above 400. I thought "no way can it be that high".
I went and got a second meter and retested with it. Yup same number.
:hmm Looks like we are in this together.
Diabetes DOES run in my family so I really am not shocked, just a little scared and sad about it.

Interesting article Mo. I like that the sample group of people was huge.

We don't eat many processed foods here......at least not since I quit working. That has been almost 2 years ago.

We are looking closely at what we DO eat and in what quantities.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast. Dinner will be fajitas on the tortillas I found that are better in carb and sugar amounts than the usual. Lunch......:hmm Not planned yet. Maybe a salad with fish.

Just tended the birds.

Bitty is so freaking cute with little yellow heads popping out of her feathers.
When I put the mash for them she called them to it. I had not had time to stand there and watch to see if she would yet.

The big kids are doing great! I really need to get them integrated. :hmm
This week we should be warm so I can finally get that done.

Even with the lows getting down just below freezing the plants are all good in the greenhouse.
:woot

One thing that can help is baking your own bread and not buying baked goods from the store.

I have the kitchenaid flour grinder for making flour and bake three loaves of sandwich bread with my Recipe. It is a combination of home made flour and organic all purpose flour from costco. The sweetener is either honey(local) ore molasses-- 1\3 cup for three loaves

I also bake my own sourdough bread.

Baked goods in the stores are universally carp! and have bad things in them for you-- not only HFCs
