I would like to thank every one on here for listening/ reading my post and saying their piece. I much appreciate the input from every one. I understand that hubby may feel alone on the diabetes front, even with support. I really have to try harder I think to help him understand that diabetes...

I totally agree with you Destiny, but if I came out and said this to him he would totally disagree. One of our sons gets married this year and when they were chatting about it he quipped "yes I'll be there, well as long as I am still here". We have 3 grown up children and 2 grand children. I...

Thanks for that Lenny 3, and you are spot on, my hubby has no energy for anything...is very unsociable and quite obviously has high blood sugar level... Last night, at bed time I saw him slipping his usual chocolate bar into his pocket for bed, I said "that isn't what I think it is?" He said...

Thanks TUMBLE... Your input made me chuckle... Have actually tried what you suggest.. And he said well for a man in self destruct mode I feel scarily comfortable.

He is now on 2 diabetes drugs, Meteforman and Glicizide and he has to monitor his blood sugar levels now as well, and still take a careful...

Dear Cathy N Thank you so much just for listening/reading my post... There are times when I feel so isolated. I have little contact with my family, and my partner is the same with his. After the shock of being told diabetes cannot be cured he seemed to adjusting to a lifestyle change. The Sugar...

My partner was diagnosed 8 years ago and in the beginning thought it was something that could be cured with a course of pills. He is on medication for depression and has been for as long as he has been diabetic. I am a very caring and understanding person and have tried really hard, have stepped...

How do you cope with a partner who appears to treat Diabetes 2 like a terminal illness.??

Hi... I am looking for any pointers on how to help care for a type 2 Diabetic. They have been diabetic for at least 8 years now... And are what I term as a bad diabetic in that they will do nothing to help themselves. They were on Glicizide, but are now on Glicizide and metehulin I think it is...
