Thanks to everyone who has responded. I guess we all have similar frustrations and challenges. We just always get stuck at the impasse 'having a hypo is no excuse for being grumpy/twisted' versus 'I'm not able to talk right now' T'was ever thus methinks so I'll just live in hope. Thanks again...

Fair point. We went together to consultations around 10 years ago and that helped a bit. I think as I've aged and got more irritable ( and probably more frustrated with everything ) it becomes harder to explain. Might just be part of ageing and not T1 ... maybe I'm just having a bad spell...

Has anyone found a non-controversial way to explain to your non-T1 diabetic partner that irritability and inability to converse during a hypo, are not really controllable? I've been trying for 18 years and still failing ... ALL comments very gratefully received.

Thanks for the response.
