I was diagnosed two years ago and was "thin" at the time. Since then I have gained quite a bit of weight. In addition, my cholesterol went through the roof. No one ever said anything negative to me, but they knew that I had stopped exercising and was eating extremely unhealthy.
I had been precribed metformin, but refused to take it both becuase of the way it made me feel and mentally i didn't like the fact that it meant something was wrong.
In a very subtle way, my mother made me aware of the risks I was posing to myself. She bought me a PCOS book. It took 1 day for me to skim through and realize that if I wanted a healthy future I better shape up!
It was nice and subtle and no hard feelings. If fact, I'm not even sure if that was her intention, but if it was it worked!!!
Good Luck with everything!!! And I commend you for trying to help your wife!
