*stereotyping madly*

Blokes often like to fix things, and my very practically minded husband can’t always get to grips with the fact that I can’t be mended, sorted, job done. The relentless management tasks are basically incomprehensible to him, although he does meticulously count carbs for me when he’s cooking, and buy some of the strange foods I eat now when he’s shopping. But if he could sort out a new pancreas and nail it on with gaffer tape and cable ties, he probably would!

That's my bloke covered! I think he's fed up of not being able to 'fix' me now so zones out when I'm on a diabetes related rant.

Preferable to my mother though who just can't understand why I was making such a fuss about the whole diagnosis, DKA, nearly died stuff......
