[QUOTE="KeepYourGinUp, post: 2155638, member: 515952"] Hi all, thank you so much for your replies, lots of really helpful pointers and tips. I have been administering his nightly dose of insulin for a while now, guided by him but also by a finger prick test. It’s the daytime when I am at work that I know he isn’t managing it well. I can tell just by looking at him when he is high (it’s in the eyes!) but he rarely feels it. He has been sent a letter to go in for a diabetic review but just says he hasn’t got the time to go. I asked him to make an appointment for this evening (late surgery) and I’ll take him and go in with him but he hasn’t done that. It’s really helpful to hear from other type 1 diabetics about how he might be thinking in those moments as to me he isn’t making sense and cannot understand what I am saying. I have spoken to him a few times today and all seems fine. I have asked him to take insulin as his job is an active one so he normally keeps his levels better in check when at work but he is just at home with our son today. Thank you all again for your helpful advice x [/QUOTE]
