hi i to am married to a type 1 hubby diagnosed 3yrs ago i have done all i can to try and understand the condition and what it may be like living with it even injecting (without insulin ) finger pricking and when my hubby got his pump wore his spear one for 24 hrs canuler and all i(not nice ) but even now i think i will never understand what day to day life is like for him
feel helpless worried stressed on a daily basis
and even when he thanks me for my support (which he needn't do) i sometimes think im being selfish as Im always asking how u feel hun how's ur bs today have u insulated so on and so on (think i prob ask to much lol but its only cause i care ) but no one asks me no one knows how hard it is every day to see the love of ur life go through every thing that comes with the condition its bloody hard
and the times i have tried to confide in family and friends i just get a dull stare or stupid comment like yeh he's ok though he just can't have sweets and has a injection init drives me nuts so just don't bother anymore i only talk to him bout it know but its hard trying to talk to a type 1 about how it affects u makes u feel very stupid and selfish
it is hard the hardest thing we have had to deal with but other than a cure i wouldn't have it any other way i would rather live with the moods highs and lows and all the struggles inbetween than not have him around the good defo out weighs the bad and during a bad time u remember that instead of wanting to bang his head against a wall lol hope this helps ur not alone Im free to chat anytime
