I don't exactly blame him for not yet taking it seriously- there is a difference between knowing a thing and knowing it. You might rationally know there's nothing in the basement but you still feel that thrill when you look into the darkness. He knows he has diabetes and he knows it's bad, but he doesn't feel the danger he's in yet. He doesn't truly believe he can die yet. So, he got out of the hospital and immediately ate spaghettios because he has not yet accepted the reality of his situation. It's just no big deal yet.
