[QUOTE="GlucoseGuardian, post: 1678370, member: 468263"] He claims to only be admitted to hospital about once a year, since he was diagnosed at the age of 6 and is now almost 21. In order to qualify for a cgm you need 2 or more hypo hospital admissions in a year. I wasnt in the same city as him when he had his hypo as he works about 40 miles from where i work. It was within the first month of our relationship, I got a text saying "I f*cked up, boss is taking me to hospital" then he didnt respond for 2 hours. The demons in my brain ate away at me and I may have used an ever so slightly illegal method to obtain confidential patient information, before sending him a passive aggressive "you were discharged 20 minutes ago thank you for the update" to which he was absolutely thrilled! Completely flattered by how much I cared! He changed, it went from a casual thing to me being presented with flowers and jewellery! From mainly hanging out in sports bars to having expensive meals in nice restaurants! Then about a month later he deliberately went hypo because he thought I "needed a distraction" from dwelling on an argument I'd had with a family member. Which I class as emotional blackmail because he was basically saying "cheer up or i'll kill myself." Is this a thing diabetics do? If he does it again its definitely over. [/QUOTE]
