Hi everyone!
I hope you don't mind I'm not diabetic myself but my partner is. I've found that many partners don't know how to engage with their SO's when it comes to their diabetes and I'd love to change this.
Were both in our early twenties and both feel that there's not enough support out there to encourage partners or aid partners in being there for the other person. I know that as much as I wanted to learn everything I could when I met him 3 years ago, I had no direct websites or resources which spoke solely about the awkward stuff such as approaching the subject of diabetes with my partner, the issues with sex and diabetes and how us going out to eat or drink might affect his sugars.
As much as diabetes concerns the person with the condition it's also important for the family, friends and partners to know how to help.
If anyone is interested or has any questions surrounding looking after and helping your partner with diabetes, I'd love it if you'd get back to me for a chat!
Thanks!
