[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2508100, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=554899]@MB1995[/USER] and welcome to the forums. T1 for 52 years here and sometimes hypos just happen. (There are so many things that affect insulin sensitivity that you just can't get it right all the time.) I am very very lucky that my husband/partner has always supported me in my diabetes and rescued me on the rare occasions that I need rescuing. He has never criticised me for hypoing. (And I've had some epic ones,particularly when pregnant with our now adult children.) Do you have a cgm? (dexcom or libre?) My hypo awareness isn't as good as it used to be when I was younger and having an alarm when I get to 4.4 (level can be adjusted) means that I greatly reduce the chances of severe hypos. It sounds to me that you are doing everything right and your partner is less than helpful. (Maybe he should try being T1 for a while and see how he does.) And you will sometimes make mistakes (oh the joys of injecting bolus instead of basal) but we are all human and that is no reason for criticism. Lots and lots of virtual hugs. [/QUOTE]
