General Why Would He Do This?

[Jen]

Thats what made me so cranky about this Jods he knows the feet can become a problem if not looked after! Do they ever listen?:crazy:

I will answer with three words to your question "will they ever learn?"- THEY ARE MEN... so in other words no. Perhaps if you looked up on the internet terrible pictures about the effects of diabetes and make him look at them. For example, find a pic of some one who had to have their foot amputated- this usually works to some degree because these pics will make people feel ill to look at... Just a thought but it might work.

I must agree with Tammy, part of it may simply be a male thing, as Jim is quite loathe to go to the doctor, even when he definitely needs to, and he does not have PTSD. I am not certain all the reasons though some of it is male pride (with Jim anyway) and not wanting to appear weak. However Jen, your husband must indeed be careful with diabetes and wounds of any kind. Such things can turn very serious very quickly.
