It's not just about the diabetes. She eats a food that's not hers without paying for it or replace it. Without the OP's health issues, SIL is still a thief.

It doesn't matter if OP has diabetes or not. Those are HER snacks and she can do whatever she wants with them. If her husband cares so much about letting BIL and SIL mooch off them, he can buy them snacks instead.

Your husband stands against you needing snacks for diabetes? I suggest you pack up your snacks and head straight to a divorce lawyer.

The bigger issue is that diabetes has become so common place, that people have a tendency to take it in stride, and relegate it to "no big deal". It is more common but it is also very serious, the ramifications and the damage that it does are very real. I'm diabetic and the issues I have had with people becoming offended or dismissive when I say I can't eat this or that is truly astonishing. My SIl tried to give me a piece of cake at a family birthday party, handed it to me on a dinner plate and it took up most of the plate, I took it and walked to the table to cut it much smaller and she's still pissy with me about it 10 years later. Honestly, either way it doesn't matter in this case, the food the pregnant lady is eating is not hers, she needs to learn some respect and boundaries!

She or hubby or her brother can buy her her damn snacks. She doesn’t get a pass to just eat food that isn’t hers just because she’s pregnant. I’ve dated a diabetic, I’ve witnessed what can happen. This woman isn’t some snack addict, she actually NEEDS those snacks to be readily available.

The husband backs his brother's wife instead of his own???? Listen, I have a friend with diabetes whose husband has literally saved her life when her blood sugar got too low. I don't see this husband doing that. Dreadful!

If your husband isn't worrying about your health he shouldn't be your husband. That's literally partners 101. I imagine this is just the tip of their issues and she has likely overlooked much other manipulation.

I'm a type one diabetic too and I feel a kinship with this woman . I have to keep candy and snacks and glucose rescue shots by my bed and in every room of the house. If my 5 year old kid understands that he needs to leave those alone because I told him I need them for my blood sugar. He often asks if I want a bitebif his snacks because of my blood sugar. If a 5 year old can grasp the concept and those 3 ADULTS can't then she needs to get out of that toxic relationship ASAP!

NTA. Having said that, the OP says she doesn’t “eat lunch and dinner properly.” This is very concerning, and she needs to get this under control.

Ditch that arsehole of a husband and as a bonus you lose the arsehole in-laws. There is no way these people are normal and reasonable in other ways if this is their response to this issue.

WARNING! RED FLAGS! WTF!

You are dealing with 3 childish, entitled cretins. Walk away.

This is absolutely intolerable & horrifying. Husband, his brother, & SIL need to be shown graphic color photos of what can happen to a diabetic who doesn't get their needed snacks, medicine, whatever. Ulcerous sores on the feet that can lead to amputation. Eye damage leading to blindness. Kidney damage leading to dialysis. Cardiovascular issues causing heart failure or strokes. Diabetes IS a life & death issue. OP needs to save herself & get a divorce, take the house & kick them all to the curb. And I really wish she would get help with her eating issues, a good nutritionist could work wonders for her.

Unfortunately they won't understand til you get sick. Then they will blame you for not taking care of yourself.

She's married to that lunatic...why?

Tell the b***h to buy her own damn snacks! Can't believe she actually have the nerves to comment on the fact that you're not getting snacks.

I'm a bit confused here. Is this diabetic woman just chowing down on sugary snacks when she feels her blood sugar getting low? This isn't a great idea and in fact doesn't at all solve the problem. Why isn't she under medical care and on medicine? She states she "doesn't eat lunch or dinner properly". What does this mean? When you're a diabetic you HAVE to eat correctly and eating junk food is not one of them. All this does is tax your body further. She should go to a doctor, learn to take care of herself better (she doesn't say what type of diabetes she has...if she's overweight, it can be brought to very manageable areas losing that weight. ) She's in a very unhealthy loop and seems like she's blowing it off. Snacks are not medicine. Her husband is a jerk. I'm sad for people when "that thing" finally happens and you find out the hard way that your Loved Ones will eat you like a pack of wild dogs. I hope she gets the energy to get on a better track.

Can we stop for a moment and ask why this woman is not eating properly even though she knows her life literally depends on it? The SIL, BIL and husband are all TA for their behavior. However, she needs to get with her endocrinologist FAST to figure out why she is unable to maintain her sugar at proper levels and why she is not eating properly. Snacks are not the issue here. Poor diet and health are the real issue.

Well, isn't that husband another gem of humanity. Seriously, where do al these poster find these horrific spouses?

Yes YTA... for staying married to a husband that yells in your face. You deserve so much better!

Why is OP still married to this AH. He doesn't take her diabetes seriously. She could go into a diabetic coma from low blood sugar and die. And he doesn't see it as a big deal that she doesn't have food readily available to raise her blood sugar because her SIL ate her snacks. OP needs to kick her husband and the two freeloaders to the curb and file for divorce already.

Leave now, OP. Threatening your health/life is a HUGE red flag. I say that after 50 years insulin dependent diabetic who has woken up in an ambulance or ER many times due to sudden, calamitous drops in blood sugar.

Oh, people, just grow up a lil'...

Im type 2 diabetic who is staying with my MIL. I thank them every day for letting us stay, and try to buy food and other supplies as needed. I would NEVER ever expect them to supply my dietary needs, and since my MIL is Celiac diet is very important to both of us. How dare your SIL demand anything from you, and your husband is being an idiot. If HE wants them to have snacks he can buy them himself.

you are not the A hole! from what I got from the story everyone else is the A hole NOT YOU!! okay?

I think you need to call the factory for a new husband. The one you have is defective

Get the fúck out of that marriage!

Pretty sure this is a BS story.

I've seen hundreds of these stupid /R stories and whether they actually are true or just made-up BS, the moral of the story is clear: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER GET MARRIED!!!!!
