I no longer prioritize the marriage and feel my job now is to "endure" and do so for the sake of the children, as they say. I am very sympathetic to my DH and especially the disdain with which so many physicians treat non-compliant diabetics - as if it is EASY to stay on track - but I have my own anger as well. It is unpleasant to live with an ogre. I see that through this non-compliance and depression, my DH chooses to hate life and see the worst in it. I feel I need to send the opposite message to our children. That live is not without challenges but is worth living and loving. A support community online does help. Please do help spread the message of hope and positive energy. Even if it ends up being untrue, it is better to believe in good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-60499469382382380462009-06-29T23:31:49.688-07:002009-06-29T23:31:49.688-07:00With type 1 diabetes, you can be extremely complia...With type 1 diabetes, you can be extremely compliant but due to both beta and alpha cells destroyed by the autoimmune process, the person with diabetes experiences a virtual roller coaster of blood sugar highs and lows...many of which come out of nowhere<br /><br />I have had midnight lows in which 4 juice boxes weren't enough to bring me above 40<br /><br />I test my blood sugar 12 times a day, unless it is a sick day in which I test more often...and still these nasty lows can sneak up on youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
