I think, I'm gonna sit him down and make him read all your responses. It might sink in more coming from others with diabetes. He might listen to you !!!!! (I hope!!) I'm glad tho that it's not just me over reacting and that this does need to be dealt with. Thank you all so much! Xxx
The trouble is he refuses to do the basics, so far this year he's checked his sugars 4 times. He wouldn't do it last night because he knew it would be high so why bother. .. He has never counted carbs and won't learn how. I would do anytime for him to do the basics xx
He has no interest in the forum :( I think he's scared that reading about it will bring home what it is he's actually got. He got angry at me when he found out I was talking about him, I think he feels it's non of my business x
You have no idea how good it is to hear it's not just me in this situation. After a day at work of patient after patient and to come home to him smelling of smoke and eaten a pack of biscuits, its enough to make me want to cry. I'm so sorry you're in the same boat . I'll keep my fingers crossed...
The trouble is he tends to avoid programs like this. I think it all goes back to him being I'm denial about it. I mentioned to him this morning that I had joined this forum and maybe it would be good for him to have a read. I've only been on here for a night and received more support in that...
I think I'm gonna try to talk with him tonight. Keep it about feelings rather then facts. I know he's really sensitive about it. I think he thinks I'm interfering . I don't know, I'm gonna try anyway!!! Thank you all again :) x
Thank you :) I'm sorry it took such an dramatic event to help you come to terms, at least you now have it under control now.
Thank you for all your advice it feels good to talk about it with people who aren't telling me I'm a terrible wife or that I'm over reacting. Fingers crossed he will come...
All suggestions are welcome!!! I'll try anything!! :D thank you for being so understanding, I think he's just scared but I don't know how to help him!! X
I'm scared to talk to people at work about his diabetes. I used to but it would always come back to "if he carries on smoking, eating what ever etc he will end up here" and " why haven't you stopped him doing it and get him to be more careful!" I'm kinda stuck between feeling incredibly guilty...
Hi! My husband has had type 1 for 4 years now and he still refuses to check his sugars regularly or learn to count carbs. I turn to encourage him to do so but it tends to come off as nagging and badgering. I understand how difficult it is to control and live with diabetes and i cant begin to...
