CherylAnne,
Me tactful? That would surprise people that know me!!!:p
Let's see, Bill is 42. He thinks monitoring his blood sugar costs too much. He 'probably' wouldn't be eager to join our forum where he could get advice and encouragement from other diabetics.
Let me guess here, I bet he won't be too eager to go to the doctor. He will be even less eager to have you go with him and talk to the doctor. Unless I am badly mistaken, your Bill is a stereotypical, hardheaded male of the genus homo and species sapiens.
If all the above is true or close to true, you can give it the college try, but he won't get with the program until HE decides it is time.(I hope that it doesn't take an extreme circumstance to wake him up.) Until then it will be moods and excuses and other assorted bull feces.
For you, that will lead to much biting of your tongue, clenching of your jaw and probably the occasional tension headache. To combat these symptoms, I prescribe much patience, rest, laughter, regular exercise, play and regular visits to
www.diabetesforums.com).;

P.S. Contrary to popular belief, anyone who enjoys my sense of humor is not insane.
