[QUOTE="Outlawe, post: 2234330, member: 520127"] Hello - my advice would be to explain to your partner in the same way that you've written this post. When sugars are erratic/running constantly high you have to admit that you are 'ill'. Do you have the support of a Diabetes Specialist Nurse? If so, as you are hitting 26, my recommendation would be to call him/her for some advice on how to get your sugars stable again. When I have this problem, I've found that not eating is not the answer because the body will pump out 'emergency carbs' into your blood stream and if you are also not taking insulin this will make things worse. Hope you feel well again soon [/QUOTE]
