Partner is still reeling from last low, when I got very irritable and shouted. I can totally understand. It's my failing in not keeping an eye on levels. I'm generally very controlled (HbA1c 5.5%). I think she's struggling to understand how it affects behaviour, but it's not to pardon how I acted – all my doing. Do you guys have any advice on how I tackle this, improve, prevent, explain?
Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm pretty passive. However, I have gone low in the past & just walked out in my courting years sometimes blowing a relationship.
More focused on treating the hypo & getting my brain back, than reassuring someone's "insecurities."
The closest thing I can think hypos are like with me in severity cognitive wise "dementia or Altzhiemmers?"
Oddly, my mum developed the latter & is pretty chilled out too.
I married now & have dropped at dinner parties yapping esoteric nonsense to my wife's boss.
I made the mistake of not walking away from that one..
Work out how you feel/thought processes when low. & open up to your partner on the subject.
I was in a band with a T1 bass player. Lovely guy but would get lairy when low?
He'd sheepishly apologise after.
We had our own code. "When the music sounds ****, hit the sweet packet."
Best wishes.
