I do not have diabetes
Hi, I'm Kelly, new to all this. My partner is insulin dependant, I'm non-diabetic. Just wondering if you lovely lot can gimme a hand getting my head around the complexities!!!! He's not talkative on the subject, I don't want to push cos I feel like he has enough to deal with. I've been to several dr/consultant appts but still don't feel like I'm getting to know what it's really all about. Is there a thread I should be looking for regarding relationships and diabetes or living with someone with diabetes? Any advice would be fab thanks!!

Hi, there is a thread around here somewhere about relationships with diabetes.

But really, I think the best possible advice I can give you is to wander freely round the forum, anywhere that looks interesting. When I arrived, that is exactly what I did, and the amount of info, the stories, the advice, that was available... It's wonderful.

See you around. :)
