Hello Molly 56, it has been a long time since we posted. I have been through the posts on this theme and you are still a very worried woman.
I read a post that said it was Molly time, I completely agree with this. 2015 is the year for Molly.
This man of yours is really pushing all the boundaries, and all the logic of life.
Where I formerly worked, I would see a man having something at morning tea break, then he was not there, he was a diabetic, he was dead I discovered, not looking after himself.
My own office boss, following an operation for phlebitis, he came back to work then was unwell again, he went back into hospital to be diagnosed Type 1 and taught to inject with a needle insulin, twice a day.
One night he was getting ready to go out, he fell in the kitchen, banged his head, came round, was sick, then dropped back down and died, even though his wife tried CPR on him.
The many different departments he is waiting for appointments and operations from, will have full view of the hospital folder and on-line blood test results.The letters that have been written out to him and the ones to his GP.
I am sad to hear that the feared insulin is coming to him, did they not try him on Victoza or similar types of injectable's (non insulin types), before they got to this, or have the diabetic doctors decided to go this one step to try and get him under control, once and for all?.
Molly you are a million mile woman, who has done/is doing so much for this man, who is blinkered to what is making you feel and how much it is bringing you down, What a Selfish man he is, not caring for himself and not caring for what it is putting you and anybody else through, Molly take many steps backwards and look out for yourself more, it is so important.
The man will have a pre-assessment with a nurse and when she/he goes through the list and file, the truth and instructions will be given. When this is said then the decisions will be made and he will get the what to do instructions and if he does not get with the program, then he will be put back onto the list until he does comply, as previous posts have already said, his future treatment is squarely in his own hands.
The only way he will be fully 'controlled' is by you being there all day everyday, and that would not do you any good at all.
The other option is he could end up being admitted to hospital for control to be achieved, will he be in hospital when he goes on insulin,or is it in the new injector pens system?.
Molly what would you do if he was taken into hospital, to get controlled and then he would face the finger stabbing at least between 4-6 times a day! and the breakfast options are not that appetising!
Molly take a rest, take a nice day out, but step back. You have done all and everything you can to help "him indoors".
And now all that can be done, has been done.
Molly the 25th January is Burns night, have you been to Scotland? You must be due for a little holiday, after all it has been days since the last one, and that was not much fun.
Speak to you again soon Molly, ttfn Karen
