[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2505791, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=554601]@Laura_[/USER] and welcome to the forums. I've been T1 for 52 years and living with my partner/husband for 40 and though I manage the insulin part of my diabetes on my own it's been a massive support to have a partner to "spot me" should my blood sugar go too low. (Though it can be annoying if I'm in a bad mood and he asks me if I'm hypo :)). But the treatment for T1 is massively better now than when I was first diagnosed, so although complications are a possibility they are no longer an inevitability. My recommendation is to be ready to get him glucose if he goes hypo but not to worry about the rest of it. It works for me and my husband, anyway. (Though when travelling he carries extra glucose for me, even though I have my own.) And if you have a car and he keeps boiled sweets in it for hypos, please don't finish the container without replacing it. (Grr from personal experience with my family :):):)). [/QUOTE]
