[QUOTE="skirk, post: 10364, member: 7067"] Hi all, Just thought I would update you all. We are getting there shall we say, but I have to be honest it is realy doing my head in and of course this is selfsih considering it's my husband who has diabetes and not me. I just long for the norm. He returns to work tomorrow just half days to begin with and I think that this will do everyone the power of good and get back to some normality at long last. He does worry me with his total lack of question asking his limited knowledge of diabetes other than what he needs to know. I have posted another thread regarding an incident that occurred yesterday. He had a low a couple of hours after lunch, he popped around 4-5 dextros and then we heading to McDonalds, after Dextros his reading was 3.8 so it must have been really low prior to the dextros. Can't understand why after having Porridge Oats (flavour = Golden Syrop!!) with banana, why only 2 hours later he had a low? Anyway after he ate he compained of really sore eyes like he had been punched and then later he described as the same feeling as when he had his eyes dilated by the Optician for tests. It wore off by around 6pm, but it was weird? He still drinks every night, around 3-4 cans of lager, maybe less, this worries me and to be honest I think this whole diagnosis is really diffciult for him to come to terms with, he comes across as though its not a problem but really I think it is. It has now been 3 weeks since his first appointment with an English Dietician, she said she would provide a load of written information, but she still hasn't received it all from the UK this dries me nuts, if we lived in England there would be so much more available for him. I am working on him to return to Uk, toruble is we aren't due posting until next July and to be honest the mere thought of spending another year in Germany is too much to bear. I think he would greatly benefit from some kind of group so he can get information and help him get a greater understanding of it and in turn make life so much easier. Any clues on the eye thing?
