My husband barely eats. He’s very thin and also a type 1 diabetic. On top of this he’s a chef so spends all day around food. He doesn’t eat anything in the morning apart from a few sweets to get his blood sugar up. I know he doesn’t eat any meals in the day. He just picks at bits while he’s working.
If I cook a meal and keep some back for him when he gets home he won’t eat it. I’ve stopped doing this as the food was going to waste. The only way I can get him to eat after work is if I wait for him to come home and I have dinner freshly made and I sit and eat with him. Even then, I know he’s only eating with me because I’ve gone through the effort of serving it to him and he would feel rude if he didn’t eat. I can’t do this atm though as he’s not getting home till half 11 as it’s busy. I’m the winter it’s not so bad as he’s home by half 9.
I know he’s a grown man and he can cook if he wants to eat or snack out of the fridge or whatever but I just worry so much about him. On his days off he only eats if he starts to hypo and even then it’s just snacks. He will have a very small evening meal. Aibu to leave him to it or should I push more? He’s had a check up with the diabetes team and he’s healthy.
