[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1805076, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=477026]@Socialist2002[/USER] what a brilliant mate you are, sadly it sounds like he doesn't realise his though because where he is mentally right now. Sadly unless he is willing to ask for help then you cannot even attempt to help him and where he is right now it will be a wake up call in hospital coming up. When blood glucose levels are running high it actually makes mental reasoning and any capacity to think straight diminish so he won't be himself, he may well be depressed too, it wouldn't be a great surprise, imagine waking up every day and dealing with the same anxiety, it is wearing, but it's made worse when blood glucose levels are running high. If he's not injecting yet eating junk food then yes he's right this is diabulmia and he needs help from his diabetic team, contacting DWED also would be helpful. If I was you I would write him a letter, tell him your thoughts and concerns, tell him you support him and help is out there, tell him you don't want to see him end up in hospital, and then leave it up to him. The greatest fear in all of this is ultimately the damage he is doing to his body whilst he is in this current mental state, something he will be aware of but not prepared to deal with, so. Really do hope he can see sense and ask for help soon, again you are an amazing mate so don't forget this, however don't feel upset if he pushes you away this is the diabetes and his current mental state, once things improve and he is prepared to seek help then he will appreciate the support you have given him.
