A member asked:

Type 2 diabetic boyfriend won't take proper care of himself. desperate for help! what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There is: Nothing you can do. Your boyfriend must decide for himself to change his lifestyle and take better care of himself. You can't do it for him. Maybe you need to find a different friend.
