Answer
Pam,
Diabetics need to follow different diets depending on how long they've had diabetes, how bad it is, and if they have any damage to their internal organs (especially their kidneys). Therefore, only your husband's physician can decide what your husband should be eating. You should go with him to his appointments. Alternatively, you can make an appointment for yourself with your husband's doctor, to talk about your husband's situation. The important thing is to make sure that his doctor knows you are concerned and want to help-that way, the doctor can give you the information you need.
Best of luck to you.
