Today, my husband came home from the hospital after having 6 gangrenous toes amputated because he hasn't been treating his diabetes properly. Not half an hour after he got home, I caught him sneaking sweets from a hiding place in his toolbox. He's already lost the bag with his medication in it. Again. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, since I needed someone to talk to about it, I told my girlfriend how my dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My girlfriend's mother then told me, in graphic detail, how her father's diabetes led to his toes being hacked off. FML
Today, I went out for a smoke before dinner. I glanced through the window only to see my husband take my cooking scissors, cut his toe nails and then put them back in the utensils canister without washing them. FML
Today, my husband stabbed me with his unusually long, nasty toenails in the leg while he slept. It took 3 stitches to fix it up, my husband and doctor laughed the entire time. He still refuses to cut them. FML
Today, I got to work in the ER at the local hospital. A lady came in with high blood sugar. She was concerned because the same thing happened to her husband. I reassured her, telling her she'd be back with her husband in an hour or so. Her husband died four years ago from something similar. FML
Today, my mother-in-law came over. Probably thinking that the needles in our fridge were steroids, and wanting to do the right thing, she took them to throw them away. I'm diabetic, and they were my insulin. I went into shock after she left and had to go to the hospital. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. FML
Today, I'm having heart surgery. The doc came in, donut in one hand and papers in another. While I was filling them out, his hands kept trembling, and he dropped the donut on the floor. He fumbled to pick it up and kept eating. The guy I'm entrusting my life to doesn't even respect the five-second rule. FML
Today, I found out that my husband thinks I'm fat when I caught him slipping diet pills into my morning smoothie. FML
Today, I found out my husband was faking his leg injury. I caught him out and about walking just fine, hand in hand with another woman. I’ve been caring for him, holding down the bills, and taking him to an "at home" chiropractor for the past 7 months. FML
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sounds more like an F his life, since not only did he lose 6 toes, but seems to have no self control when it comes to taking care of himself.

"Don't blame me. They needed to be used by the expiration date, and you don't like them, so I was hardly going to let them go to waste. And I'm pretty sure my meds are somewhere between here and the hospital. They'll turn up, eventually."

Addiction sucks, for all involved. I hope he finds the strength to change.

From her FML it kinda sounds like he deserves it though...

If you’re in a non-shite marriage, an FML for one spouse is an FML for the other.

FHL. He doesn't seem aware of or care about the consequences. If I lost that many toes I'd reconsider my life choices here.

I hate to say it, but if he keeps this up, he's probably going to lose a foot next.

It's obvious you care about him a lot, OP Have a serious talk and tell him how it's affecting you and his health Talk to him about getting help he clearly needs

He’s just celebrating with candy that he has four toes left...for now.

I would recommend you to go to YouTube and search for Jason fung or Dr berg and watch some videos about intermittent fasting. It might help your husband.

Or it might help not or even endanger his life. Not all patients with diabetes mellitus (especially those with type 1 and/or treated with insulin) will benefit from (intermittent) fasting. Fasting in such patients can lead to hypoglycemia (low level of blood sugar/glucose) , which can even kill the patient.

Leave, before you're stuck with paying for his permanent hospitalization

Wow, does he not care about his health at all? FYL indeed, and he kind of deserves it since you said he doesn't treat his diabetes properly. And obviously he's doing it on purpose if he's eating sweets from a secret hiding stash and loses his medicine.
