[QUOTE="My_cream_aga, post: 1010614, member: 241361"] Hello, I have just read your posting regarding your husband. Diabetes is a very confusing and difficult condition to come to terms with, tell him it does get easier, he must read all he can about it, he will come to understand it in time after all he has to it is not going to go away. Christmas is a difficult time but it is harder for children to deal with as they tend to love the the sweets etc at least as adults we can understand why we cannot have it. I have been type 1 for 43 years. I am on a base line insulin plus novo rapid , with novo rapid he can inject a little more insulin so,that he can enjoy a piece of cake or some chocolate but only after a meal don't eat the cake or sweets as a meal because he will be hungry soon after. Make sure he checks his,blood sugars on a regular basis that way he will come to understand how his body works. If he does add a little more insulin to enjoy some goodies it is important he keeps a check on his blood sugars to ensure he doesn't go hypo or he hasn't eaten too much. It does get easier in time, it's a nuisance but things could be much worse. If I can help in anyway please say. [/QUOTE]
