[QUOTE="ye6911, post: 2324929, member: 532547"] Hi all, I am new to this forum, hoping to learn more about the condition. I, myself am not a diabetic person but my boyfriend is. He is a Type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed in his teens. I can't describe how much I love my boyfriend, I am seriously considering marriage with him. However, my parents have their reservations about our relationship because of his condition. They are quite ignorant about the condition and imagine many worst-case scenarios (eg: kidney failure, early death, amputating legs, I'm sorry this is triggering to read). Honestly, I am not very knowledgable myself, other than research on the internet, I don't know much about the condition. I am still considering marriage with or without my parents' approval, but I feel like I should speak to some people with T1D out there to have a real-life understanding of the condition. So here are my questions: 1. What are the real possibilities of T1D patients getting organ failures / heart conditions/ other horrible diseases we read about on the internet? Does it only happen because of poor management of glucose? 2. What are the possibilities of having a child with T1D as well? (My boyfriend has no T1D family history, I believe he was diagnosed because he had a heart complications/ problems as a child -- the cardiovascular problem is sorted now) 3. What are some things he can do to prevent the diseases arising from T1D? 4. He is generally a very stressed out and anxious person, what are some ways you alleviate stress? 5. What is the ideal average blood glucose levels he should be getting? I'm sorry the questions are so long, but if you bore with me this long, thank you very much and appreciate any answers or responses to this. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
