[QUOTE="Bufger, post: 2242136, member: 149689"] Hi Matt, I also have two young boys that are 18 months apart in age and it is difficult for the family unit. Absolute chaos in the house and if I am unwell i'm useless. The problem is that pre-diabetes and family I was really lazy and my partner knew me back then so I also worry about how i'm percieved! I make sure I look after her when she is ill and I tell her outright when i'm running high (or show her). I've told her it feels like you have the flu (aching, heavy limbs, lathargic) without the other symptoms so she has some idea of what its like. She can also tell without me checking BG as i do get really grumpy! So in short - i overcompensate when i'm healthy so when I am ill, she knows i need space. [/QUOTE]
