Hi its not actaully me who is diabetic but my boyfriend, hes 27 and was diognosed on Friday then spent the weekend in hospital having insulin pumped into him. He is finding it so so so hard to come to terms with and I feel completley useless. He will not even inject in front of me but we have been together for 7 years. I think he may feel embaressed...it that possible? I am stuck in a rut and cant seem to find a way out. I am fine one minute then next I get really panicky thinking 'what if' (meaning the complications) we have a young daughter and hes very snappy at us both which is understandable but just wish he could see that we are all in this together and that he needs to talk to me and open up...he is a very private person and his mum died before we met but he has never told me a thing about her, i only know from his aunties and sister. How can I get him to pick him self up from the floor and get him to get on with it. I am so worried he will slip into depression. I just do not know what to do, and find my self crying at silly things because i am so nervous, angry and scared for him. We went to see a speialist today and she said to eat as normal to see what reactions happen with insulin but his suger level shouldnt go high up to the late 20s but this afternoon it was 27 and the tonight before bed it was 28.7...I thought that was dangerous? will it go back down by morning or what? do i ring NHS Direct? i just dont know what to do. suppose good news is he hasnt got any kitos in his urine but that was this morning when the specalist done a test...his sugar level was 9.8 and no kitos, but how do i know that theres no kitos in his urine now with his sugar level so high?
