[QUOTE="m_brown, post: 247227, member: 41366"] Hi Baboom, It is very important your husband checks his blood sugars often so its great he is trying to improve on this. It only takes a minute to do and will let him know if he needs to take insulin to bring his blood sugar down or have something to eat or drink to bring his blood sugar up. I test my blood sugar reguarly to improve the over all control of my diabetes (I am also type 1) so do your best to encourage him to do this often throughout the day. You mentioned he had a hypo today, was he aware he was having one at the time or was he only able to tell by checking his blood sugar? Aslong as he is not having hypos all the time and is able to tell he is having a hypo and is able to treat it in time then it is not a big issue! Try and reassure him that just because he had a hypo, doesn't mean he is failing in anyway and it is not something he should be upset about. In regards to having normal sugar levels, it can be difficult, a healthy diet and lifestyle are important along with testing blood sugars as I mentioned. Try not to worry! :) [/QUOTE]
