Hi there,
I don’t have diabetes but my boyfriend does so I’m not sure how welcome I am here but I’m in desperate need of some advice.
He’s been type 1 since he was 2, now 21. I am constantly so anxious about him, we have the LibreLinkUp app so I can see his levels but he tends to ignore his highs until he’s super high like 22mmol/l, so in the middle of the night I’ll tell him oh you’re quite high do you want me to get you anything? and he usually replies with ‘no I’m fine ‘ and then later scrabble around the find his insulin.
I don’t want to be pushy or make him feel like I’m trying to control him but it’s making my head hurt that maybe he’s not as in control as he says he is. At the end of the day it’s his life and he lives with it, I can’t say how I feel to him because I don’t want him to feel like he worries me but i so am!
I just don’t want anything to happen to him or anything that I could’ve helped with, he’s not too keen on his diabetes doctors and won’t listen to them when they suggest how he can manage it better - how can I keep myself sane without making him feel like I’m trying to mother him?!
