Suggest Treatment For Type II Diabetes And Obesity

My husband, now 58, had 2 stents placed in his arteries 7 years ago. It was the result of 90% blockage. He is a Type II diabetic and a heavy smoker that will not take care of himself. He is 100 # overweight and is sedentary. I'm concerned that I will have to retire alone, a widow. What can I do for him?

Dear madam i can understand you concern.
i would like to tell you some basic steps in diabetes.
For a better diabetes control,Diabetes management can be divided in to four parts.

Part 1---30% of your diabetes control depends on daily exercise
Part 2---30% on your diet plan
Part 3---30% on your medication
part 4--10% on your stress management.
So in management of type 2 diabetes diet,physical activity and medicines will play equal role.Time maintenance is very important you need to take your food and medication in time.
