[QUOTE="Jems7, post: 974418, member: 213969"] Hey Jodie! I've been diabetic for 14 years and been with my partner for 3 years, one thing I will say is that it's entirely normal to be more emotional during a hypo, pretty much anything can make me cry when I hypo! It could be that your partner doesn't really understand/know quite what to do! Does he go with you to appointments etc? When I started dating my partner he didn't know anything really and he now always comes along to my appointments and was with me when I recently started the pump. He usually has more questions for my doctors/nurses than I do and some questions I'd never have thought of! Maybe one suggestion I could give because I got annoyed at Stuart one day and he said he just felt useless and a bit of an idiot is that when I was hypo to actually tell him what I need! When I've had a bad hypo and i start to panic, if I've already had he glucose and I'm just waiting on it working, I sometimes tell him to just keep talking to me to help keep me calm. So just telling him what you need, even if it's just a hand to hold!! Please feel free to private message me if you want to chat [emoji4] x [/QUOTE]
