[QUOTE="therower, post: 1678403, member: 47983"] Welcome to the forum [USER=468263]@GlucoseGuardian[/USER] . Apologies if what I say is out of order ( I have a knack ). From things you've said so far it appears to me that you have found yourself a diabetic boyfriend. Problem is he doesn't own his diabetes, if anything it owns him. Your boyfriend knows this, he knows he isn't in control. It's not necessarily his fault, diabetes is all consuming and can be an extreme condition to stay on top of. My fear is he sees you as someone he can off load his diabetes on to. This would obviously take a lot of pressure off of him and let him be able to lay failures and shortcomings elsewhere. He needs help and encouragement to control and master his diabetes but ultimately it has got to be his diabetes and no one else's. I'm sure that you are more than capable of being a great support to him. He's vey lucky to have someone who is prepared to help him. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
