Hi,jopar and iHs, thanks for taking the time to give me all this info. jopar thanks for telling me how the police deal with this situation, it's good to know these things. I feel that I can talk to him easier now I know a bit more about things. I have read medical books but they leave me...

Thanks goji, I feel the biggest problem is that he hasn't come to terms with losing his career, he wont even talk to my sister (type1) or my older son (type2). It's like he forgets he has it until he has hypo or gets sick. He developed a nasty absess in his tooth the day after he hypo'd in work...
