[QUOTE="LittleWolf, post: 401374, member: 66893"] Hehe thanks. I am a little obsessive about some things and the opposite about others- but glad I was paranoid enough to test in the first place to get checked out and make a change :3 I would say I am more likely to be T2 because I have PCOS which is associated with insulin resistance. What worries me though is that as well as trying to load me up with carbs (he thinks I am too thin and doesn't understand T2/IR) my T1 partner lives exclusively on fast food. Cooking is for women, he says. He doses his insulin accordingly but he never tests and isn't worried about anything under 280. His only fear is hypoing, and freaked out when he found out how low my blood sugar went when this all started. Wish I could help him but he insists he is fine and knows more about the condition because he's had it for 6 years. Am I right in thinking T1s have looser control targets? I love him dearly and wish he would test more, especially as he has to fly longhaul for us to see eachother. He got sick last time and really stressed at the airport being held in customs- I just could not believe he didn't bring a meter -_-; .
