Hey everyone. My father in law was diagnosed with diabetes yesterday after feeling rather sick lately, having eye trouble, a weight loss of about thirty pounds over the past year etc. I am sure you know the details of these things. My inlaws are lost as to where to start with all of this. I am trying to find a good book on manual on diabetes for them Any suggestions? Also, my mother in law mentioned she had to measure all of his food etc.. he was put on a strict 1800 calorie/day diet..which isn't good for him. He's very laid bakc and set in his ways. He doesn't eat breakfast or lunch..just snacks on pretzels etc all day and only eats dinner..usually at about 10 or 11 at night. Now he has to start eating three meals at the same time daily etc. His AC1 was all the way up at 16. I want to help them start out with this but really don't know where to start myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated. You can also email me at bosleys03@yahoo.com Thanks again.
