google it. you will find alot of pages were you can get it. Or ask the doctor.
There are many sources. His physician should be the first place. You can do web searches, there are also alot of the food sites that cater to diabetes. Library is always a good place. Try shopping at a Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joes and so on. Quite a few of the times they will have guest cooks and info.
Diabetes.org, mayoclinic.com, americanheart.org, all these sites will give you information pertaining to the different types of problems your father in law has. He might want to see a nutrionist which is usually provided free under most insurance plans especially with diabetes care. You and your husband can go along to gather information to help him along with his management and progress of his different issues. Good luck.
All these sites can help you with ideas and the foods he can and can’t eat. My husband has the same problem. And is on medication for all 3. (diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol). Good luck, best wishes.

Sorry to hear that but I know something will help your father-in-law. You may email me and I’ll forward you the info.
Below is a short summary of food suitable for diabetic patients.
* Fats and sweets. Fats and sweets can be integrated in a diabetic patient’s diet, but in small amounts only. Please bear in mind that fats and sweets should be integrated with, and not added to, an existing diet.
* Milk. It is highly recommended that diabetic patients should take in 2 to 3 glasses of milk per day. Choose nonfat varieties as much as possible.
* Meat. It is highly recommended that diabetic patients should enjoy only 2 to 3 servings of meat per day. Fish and chicken are advised instead of red meat.
* Fruits. It is highly recommended that diabetic patients should take in 3 to 4 servings of fruits per day. Fruits that have high fiber content are preferred over other varieties. Fiber helps the body break down glucose.
* Vegetables. 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day will help complement the body’s fight against diabetes.
* Grains. No less than 6 servings of grains and related products are advised for diabetics. Grains contain a large amount of fiber, which is the most helpful nutrient for diabetic patients.
