| It does sound like his problem is the depression rather than the diabetes per se. Now that he is getting help for that, I hope things will improve. Remember it takes some time for the meds to start working and to get the right RX/right dose. Hopefully he is getting therapy that helps him look at his life and his feelings too. It is hard to manage anything with depression, let alone something as complex and demanding as diabetes. The flip side: if the treatment for depression helps, he may find new energy and motivation to take charge of his life, including this disease.
And... I have to side to an extent with June 91. I'd wait this out for a while and give his treatment a chance. But not forever... you can't do this for him.
