Hello!
I just joined this forum today and surprisingly, this is the first forum I have ever joined. I have been a Type 1 diabetic since I was one, so that is 40 years. I went on the pump last year and love it! I also have a Dexcom that I don't think I could do without! Type 1 runs in my family, as I have two Type 1 sisters, one of which is on the exact same pump and has a Dexcom too! My point, Type 1 diabetes is common in my family and we are all very knowledgeable about it and try to take care of ourselves.
Last night I was exhausted and slept very soundly and did not hear the Dex going off in the middle of the night. When I woke up this morning, my sugar was well over 400 and had been for some time. I felt like **** and ended up being an hour late to work. My husband, who got up before me noticed I wasn't moving too fast and asked me if I was feeling alright. I said no and that my sugar was really high. He said, "Oh, I heard it go off last night. I guess I should have woken you up".
Maybe I am just venting here, but I am really peeved and feel like he does not take it seriously at all. We have only been married a year and a half and I have told him I need him to know more about it - in case I can't answer for myself. He genuinely feels bad when I talk to him, but his behavior doesn't really change. Am I expecting too much here?
