Dear all, I know that most on here know the seriousness of diabetes for the people in denial like my husband was, please believe me it does kill. I lot of you know the problems i've had over last few months especially, but i want to share this with you. Christmas eve Gerard wanted to go...

:cry: Monday morning i found my husband sitting in our office in a coma. He was choking on mucus, vomit and his tongue. He was soaked to the skin and i really thought he was dead cause his breathing was sooo faint. It all started after an afternoon and evening of drinking. He came home at...

Maybe it is 3 doses, not that he eats every meal time anyway. He never eats breakfast and rarely eats lunch too. Maybe he's lost a pen or two cause he's never been through them so quickly! He says he hasn't but his memory is terrible so i wouldn't take his word for that. thanks for your advice.

My husband asked me this week to order him some more novorapid. When i phoned the doctor they pointed out to me that he only had 5 given to him on the 13th of November. That means he's used 5 pens of 250 units in two weeks!! It seems to be the quickest he's ever gone through them and i'm still...

- Fujifilm, i don't think you're out of order at all, in fact you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same. Me and his son have to watch this and thats why i told him that i can't watch it anymore. Why should i. I mean, if he got run over tomorrow and had a terrible accident and...

Thanks everyone. I know you're right, getting him to stop or cut down drinking is my aim, but i'm trying to do it in a way that his childish outlook will accept. I've made him taking his monitor and insulin with him and he's tested a couple of times and was very surprised with the results...

My husband is going out tonight and as he always comes home with very high bg's could someone please advice us how often he should inject when drinking alcohol. Also he tested this morning and he was 9.1. He had nothing to eat and just had four coffees with no sugar yet he was 21 when he came...

So if he's drinking alcohol every night and going low I should be worried? I spend my nights listening to him breathing to make sure he's ok. I'm sure last night he injected about 50-60 units before I snatched pen off him bending his needle (maybe I did wrong thing but I couldn't watch him...

Please help me. Yesterday my husband was 33.1 after being out drinking. He injected his novorapid and he went up to 34. I sat up til 4am testing his sugars so he didn't go to sleep high. This morning he looked terribly ill so we went to doctor appointment which I had already booked. Doctor told...

My husband seems to be constantly cold when in the house, despite the fact he works out doors but never complains outside cause he's working. He's also pale and grey looking all the time. His memory is also getting soooo much worse. Is any of this to do with diabetes??

Hi Cugila I'm in complete shock. Firstly because i'm 100% it is my husband, secondly because he actually has come on here without being shown how, and thirdly and most worryingly, he looks like hes given up. If he came on here for help, why hasn't things improved. I didn't check when he...

can anyone please give me some advice. My husband has been type 1 diabetic for 5 years yet he still isn't looking after himself. He doesn't test before he injects, injects too much at night and not enough during the day. Only a couple months ago, i thought i had lost him when i woke to hear...
