Dear Joan: Regarding easier for husband to stick to diet at first. This is true with most people. This kind of regimentation is difficult - this is very common. How are his sugars? Maybe he needs a check-up with his doctor. Things do change and at some point no matter how perfect you are on the diet sometimes other adjustments may have to be made. Is he on any type of other medication? Medications can alter blood sugars. We have to remember that we have to take care of number 1 and ask the questions when we see our physicians/staff. For the most part they have the best of intentions, but things can get overlooked. Pam N.
