Hi
I am a first time forum user and new to this site. My husband is type 1. For years i knew very little about diabetes and thought he managed it well but actually he never checked his sugars and probably was always high. He has had subsquent health problems including a stroke that he didn't even know about. Since we found this out I have been so anxious about his health. He now takes his glucose readings more often than before but he still could do better. He had a hypo today while he was out and is now very depressed about it. he has been drinking lots of fresh juices as part of an immune booster but I think this is making his sugars drop quickly. How can i help him have normal sugar levels without becoming a control freak?
