Welcome to the forums family gaelicgrl !!!!!!
It sounds to me too that your husband may be a type 1. I can't for the life of me figure out why a doctor would be so nonchalant about bg levels like that.
A major problem that you may be facing is getting insurance to cover the diabetes. Since his doctor has already diagnosed him as being diabetic, when the new insurance kicks in, they may say that they won't pay for anything diabetes related for a while. They may treat it as a pre-existing condition. Hopefully they won't have a problem with it or maybe you can "work" around it.
I would definitely consult another dr. Sounds like the one he has doesn't see the magnitude of the problem.
Ok, with all that said, again Welcome and happy posting.
