Mum a diabetic.
There is no reason for a special diet foods.
He can eat every food on this planet.
You both just need to learn to count carbs.It takes a while.Start checking labels and you will find that many of the so called diabetes products have more carbs than the regular products.
It doesn’t sound as if your husband is seeing an endocrinologist. Diabetes is not a job for your GP.Please help him to see the right doctor who will help you with all the aspects of diabetes.

Don’t worry about the thumbs down. Mr. Peachy hates me.
There are sugarless jams on the market for diabetics. I buy them and jelly all the time. But what is chutney? Never had it so not sure where to get it. If you have a recipe you can substitute Splenda for the sugar. I cook with Splenda a lot. Or go to onetouchgold.com. They have lots of recipes, may have some there. It’s for diabetics.

The myth about Diabetes products should have been comprehensively debunked by now. Low fat/low sugar/low cholesterol diets including a healthy balance of carbohydrates, protein, fruit and veg. should be the diet of choice for most diabetics (Brittle Diabetes requires stricter controls), and a little chutney or jam should not pose any problems and should be treated as a naturally occuring sugars in fruit and some veg. Portion control being key!
