    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    Thank you for this. I've sent him this to have a look at, and I am thinking/hoping he will take advice! I'm pushing for him to go back to his doctor, as he doesn't have a team or anyone he regularly sees to work out how much he should be having, as he really doesn't have much idea about any...

    He takes Novo Rapid - Morning and night - and lunch time if he "thinks he needs it". Then Lantus at night.

    It's very much rollercoastering still, and he's very annoyed with it..yesterday he ate one thing all day and end up at 17, then 14 by the time he went to bed. Thank you so much for this.

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    It was around the 12 mark at last test. He doesn't often see his doctor, and i know he used to fast before the blood test so it would bring it down? Not sure how accurate this is ha. Since we had a discussion he is now testing about 5 to 6 times a day, and I'm thinking I'm going to try get him...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    T Thank you so much for this. He doesn't really have a team...he sees his endo once every 6 months or so, and that's it. We have had a look at his diet, and worked out on an average day, his daily intake is 48g protein, 289g carbs and 41g fat, with approx. 181g sugar daily, so he is going to...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    Hi Marie, Thank you so much for this. The last week, with a lot of information from this forum, has really opened his eyes to what needs to change. Today was the first day in over 10 years he had a look at his diet, and thought that he may start to make changes. We worked out on an average...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    He doesn't get a lot of sudden lows, but probably once a week or randomly a couple of days a week he will just do everything the same, and be really low. I think he has just adapted to being high majority of the time, so for him anything around the 9 - 13 mark is just "normal" for him, and he...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    Thank you so much. I keep telling him that 29 is still young, and he is able to turn things around now if he wants to, he just needs to put in the effort. I know he looked at the freestyle libre and wasn't keen after looking at some reviews, but it may be another time to look at it. I...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    Thank you so much for this. He's constantly just lethargic, and at a very flat level most of the time. Occasionally he will just randomly drop to like 3.0 or 3.2 and whilst I'm then worrying and know it's very dangerous territory, he is just very "oh well- it is what it is" mentality. It...

    Type 1 partner uncontrolled diabetes

    Hi everyone! My partner (29, male), has type 1 diabetes, however after much nagging from me (Which I hate and feel awful about), he has finally started to test again. What concerns me, is he hasn't tested at all for the last 10 years. He has simply gone on "gut feeling". His last hba1c was...
