Just because they discussed getting healthier together does that mean the person has to give up foods they love or want just because the other person doesn't want to eat them?

Continue to be 'militant' because those foods are completely off the table for medical reasons.

He keeps telling me that his diet must be fine because his blood tests come back fine (meaning his A1c is within acceptable limits for a diabetic on 3 different diabetes meds) Denial? It scares me, but not him...

You can lose weight eating whatever you want as long as you stay within your calorie goals. If you don't want that big bag of peanut butter cups, I have room in my cabinet.

Thought we were on the same page, until he came home from the grocery store this evening with four bags of Oreos, chocolate ice cream, eight pounds of pork sausage patties, and a supersize bag of generic Reese's pieces cereal. I'm not even sure we're in the same book, much less on the same page. How do you handle these situations??

I just tell him "don't expect me to wheel your butt around when your legs fall off". He tells me it will help my upper body development if I do. One needs to keep a sense of humor in a marriage.

He's got a medical condition that does not allow eating those items regularly. Life isn't fair.

And for some, sadly, the realization that the health effects of diabetes CAN happen to them doesn't occur until they are losing appendages. Denial is a powerful force.
