[QUOTE="Northerngirl, post: 926223, member: 202454"] One of the problems is that I think I am more concerned about his high glucose readings than he is. He would say he is concerned, but finds it hard to carry that into practice. There's also part of him that believes now he is using insulin, he can worry less about what he eats, because the insulin will sort it. I find it hard not to shout at him about how ridiculous that is, sometimes! Another problem is that I don't have a sweet tooth. So, dating back to before he was diagnosed, he would buy chocolate etc himself to snack on, and have snacks when I'm not having them. It was never me that bought it in the first place. I find the suggestions of suitable snacks on this site eg celery and peanut butter a/ attractive b/the sort of thing I would eat anyway. He wouldn't think so. Another problem is that one of the activities we do together is go out for a coffee. If it's first thing in the morning, it's coffee by itself. If it's mid morning we have a scone. (I guess there is some progress there over the years, because he used to have cake.) I don't mean to sound negative, it's just that I can't really see the way through this. A question, I've not seen it on here, but is there a separate forum for partners/ families of people with diabetes on here? Thanks [/QUOTE]
