It is hard but since he is having to make lifestyle changes, you can change right along with him and be a motivation to each other. I highly encourage you to attend a diabetes education class with him if you can. Once you get serious about making the necessary changes, it will be easier to get into a new groove and stay there. The hardest thing for me to give up was not sugar but potatoes and Campbell's tomato soup. My 2 favorite things in the whole world. It does get easier each time you say no, though.

Its hard, but you can do it. I don't give up anything, I just eat it in moderation. But sometimes eating it in moderation is harder than just doing without, because once I eat some I want more..lol..but you don't have to give up everything just watch portions.
