well in brief this means your husband is not doing a good job of controlling his blood sugars. this can lead to organ damage and failure blindness and even loss of his limbs. i'm glad your husband is under medical care for this and he also needs to work harder at getting his sugars under control. he needs to eat an appropriate number of calories to avoid obesity (or to lose weight if he's already obese) eat an approved " diabetic diet " and exercise regularly. he must avoid drinking alcohol and eating sugar (candy cookies etc. ). he must take all of his prescription medications exactly as prescribed. uncontrolled blood sugar is a serious issue. you can help your husband with this challenge by educating yourself about diabetes through webmd's diabetes center. i wish you both all the best!
