Researchers are finding that reducing your body weight by 10% has an impact on your blood glucose levels. Follow these 4 simple rules: 1) Eat less food (keep him around 2000 calories) 2) If God made it; it's OK 3) eat more fruits and vegetables 4) Eat food (not chemicals) Add in exercise (start with walking) since he is a big man. he'll see the weigh t melt off. You'll notice I did not answer the question about potatoes. if you follow those four rules, you'll see the answer yourself. since you are responsible for his eating, read up on diabetic nutrition.

Following this will keep him from developing diabetes. If he is borderline, he should really look at going on a diet and exercising.
