It sounds like this has been very hard on you.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564731989568599206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-38585153864160096952007-04-28T20:21:00.000-07:002007-04-28T20:21:00.000-07:00First, I'm not allowed to ask him to test, to ment...First, I'm not allowed to ask him to test, to mention this disease, or to offer him food or tell him I think he needs something. He has made that more than perfectly clear.<BR/><BR/>And yes...I've tried. It just sets of a raging volcano of wrath. Been there...done that. <BR/><BR/>Second. At 3:30 am and again at 6:30 am....are you serious? I'm supposed to be awake enough to figure out that he's in a low??? Sorry....I only figured it out when I was typing this morning. Now when it was happening.<BR/><BR/>Third. We are dealing with a guy who is in denial that this disease causes any problems at all. Yes, we've been to counseling (read my older blogs) where the physicians and therapists agreed that his sugar levels are totally out of control. But he proclaims that they are fine. He refuses to test himself. Only when he "thinks" his sugars are below 65 will he test. Seriously! <BR/><BR/>Fourth. "It's not my disease". I keep telling myself that. I'm just trying desparately to figure out how to survive living with a guy who has this disease. <BR/><BR/>I've decided that Monday I'm calling the therapist and scheduling an appointment for me. I will ask him if he will join me. It's about all that I can do.<BR/><BR/>Fifth. I'm sure he is not low all night long. I'm sure the roller coaster ride continues and he goes from high to low 2-3 times every 24 hours. If not more often.<BR/><BR/>Hope that clarifies it a little more.Diabeteswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766498325089988838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-60637163590178196052007-04-28T18:54:00.000-07:002007-04-28T18:54:00.000-07:00If you thought he was low, why didn't you ask him ...If you thought he was low, why didn't you ask him to test and have him eat something sugary? It's certainly not safe to be low all night.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564731989568599206noreply@blogger.com
