Hi guys,
I did post a similar question 3-6 months ago. I'm doing well with insulin and time in range, but I have an awful time controlling my snappy moments. It's almost always when I go really high or low. I feel as though I am possessed by someone, next thing something is blurted out and it's too late. I'm usually a really nice guy and really calm, collected especially before being diagnosed. Sometimes it isn't the blood sugar and maybe I haven't eaten enough through the day as conscious of time in range.
It really is having a massive affect on my relationship as over Christmas, she pulled away and wanted to stay over less and less as a result if we ate out and had a bad experience etc. We are now gojng through a rough patch. The other week, we discovered what was happening.. I was resenting her for not supporting me but didn't realise I had caused the issue in the first place and the distance. I thought all of the grieving process for T1DM had been done, as I have accepted everything (I think) and its been 8 months since being diagnosed. I feel as though I am working on it but against the clock also.
For example, today me and my partner were talking about our relationship which was a bit stressful. I'm not sure if this contributed as my sugar was 14-15. Then I got impatient about going out for a walk as I needed to drop it asap. I did inject again but with novorapid there is a long lag between correcting the level (about 30 mins).
Any advice for working on this? I am thinking of attending a self-help groups (UK) after Easter and we are considering relationship counselling, if she still wants to work at things. Thanks in advance.
