[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2364505, member: 365308"] I am a type 1 and find it hugely irritating to be asked if I am going low and if I am actually low it is doubly so. I have discussed this with my husband so that we've got a system in which I request assistance (sweet stuff or test kit depending on the urgency) but he doesn't take over but rather allows me to handle it. Prevention is important too and perhaps recognising that there's stress in keeping your sugars well controlled such that you get such a good hba1c. Work out what you could tweak eg. injection timing, basal bolus rate adjustment or eating more regular meals and tell her what you are trying and how she could help as its likely she will want to do so. Obviously if you are not aware of going hypo that's a different issue but if you do have good awareness you are going to have to take yourself off somewhere for a time out. As you say, its not her issue but yours and its going to be nearly impossible for her to get it but she can help you by giving you time and space to sort it out by which time the heat might have gone out of the situation.
