We got home from DESMOND and my hubby was really positive (to be fair he has changed a lot and dropped about 10 kilos in a month). I am super proud of him but tonight I was talking to him and it was as if I wasn't there. It worried me a bit. It was like I wasn't in the room. Is this normal? I think it may have been sugar related as he had a whole pizza, 2 yogurts, 2 bananas.

Hello

Wow 10 kilos in one month is like pro boxer weight loss.
I would be careful there myself.
It does sound like he would be riding a sugar high but all i can say is keep an eye on it.

Hi MrsGI

So, how was the DESMOND for you both? Did you get some helpful ideas? Pizza and 2 bananas sounds a bit mad! :lol: Suspect my BGs would be flying on those. I often fall asleep if my sugars go high but haven't 'not noticed' people thus far. :wink:

10 kilos sounds like a massive amount to lose in a month - that's around 25 lbs or nearly 2 stones, isn't it.

Hope things are settling down a bit for you both now, a few months in. :)

I wouldn't worry about the pizza and bananas, he may just want to not think about anything about diabetes, about foods, about desmond about monitors. Sometimes people just want to withdraw and adjust. I know it is hard for you because you feel helpless but, at the same time, you want to be doing something and want to be supportive. It's a tricky balance for you. You have to come up with ideas to be helpful without saying I want to help. He may need a respite and talking about may be an interruption. Anything good on at the cinema?
