Thank you,we already have a child together and he has another to,I sometimes worry about leaving him with them while I'm at work but most of the time he's with other family to,I shouldn't have to tho I know,I nearly called off the wedding a few months ago and wish I had now but now everything is...

Also would it be worth him asking for a pump?I've never heard of it before-only on these forums

He has novorapid in the day which he's supposed to take 4 times but only does it once or twice because of it dropping all the time,he is going to see a dietician soon but I also think his insulin is too high,he also never realises when his sugar his dropping which really scares me,his sugar has...
