My husband has been type 1 for over 20 years. He has been uncontrolled lately (for a long while now actually) and his mental health has taken a huge nose dive. He was prescribed a freestyle libre and is much better when wearing one but takes forever to renew prescriptions and has been without one for a few weeks now.
He doesn’t suffer hypos often but instead lets his sugars climb dangerously high. When in this state he becomes verbally aggressive and starts saying things like he wants to take his own life. He is currently in bed swearing over and over. I’ve just administered his dose of lantus, his blood sugar reading was 18.9.
We have a young child who he was looking after today while I was at work and is meant to be tomorrow too. I just don’t feel I can trust him to care for him properly, and that feels awful to say. I am not coping well trying to look after our son, support him properly and work part time. Any advice on how to get him to get help would be appreciated! His mood is generally low at the moment and he doesn’t feel anyone cares or listens to him.
