DP was diagnosed with diabetes last year. He also has high cholesterol and is also having liver tests.
He is very overweight and was told the other week that he has to halve his weight within a year - or else he is putting his health at serious risk. But I am so frustrated with him. He has now finally started taking his meds for the diabetes and eating regularly, but only because he collapsed in the street. But he is not taking the diabetes or his health issues seriously.
It has been a difficult year. I've tried not to nag him but he is not taking the exercise which the doctors have said he needs to. But his response to the latest advice was to say that we should get life insurance for him. Not to start doing what he is supposed to be doing.
Anyway, I booked a consultation for him with a personal trainer. But he is finding excuses not to go, saying we can't afford it (we can) and that he doesn't have any kit or doesnt have the time. I'm really angry that he would rather sit on his (oversized) behind and put his life at risk - than actually do something which means he might be about while his 2 kids grow up. DC2 is only 18 months and the way DP is going I very much doubt he will still be around by the time she is 5.
