[QUOTE="WorriedPartner, post: 2323504, member: 532199"] After diagnosis she struggled, she built her hopes up that it would be type 2, she's the kind of person who would have got herself out of it by diet and exercise, but she went downhill when it was confirmed type 1, from then she slowly improved, she was doing really well, felt supported (by diabetes team), and with well spaced out appointments she was gaining a good understanding, then come lockdown and increases in passing out, she had 8 incidents in 2 months, and 3 hypos, it really shattered her confidence, she was constantly living in pain from the falls, but as I said earlier, there's hope since we upped her target numbers and hasn't passed out for 6 weeks. That's my point all the time, £320 to get warnings and potentially save her from a serious hypo, then there's the slight boost in confidence, that's priceless, but she feels guilty no matter what I say, and it has to be her decision. She'll never become a recluse, she's got a lot of friends, and she works in a corner shop where everyone loves her, she's a bundle of energy who hides her fears very well. I don't feel harassed, I'm a little confused as to what I'm doing wrong, I always wish there was more I could do, and I get some time at the weekend, so using that time to see if other people have had similar problems or have ideas that may help.
