[QUOTE="rachel162, post: 930757, member: 194911"] I'm with [USER=201513]@TooMuchGlucose[/USER], I know when my levels have been up and down I get tired and frustrated and angry, and start to get headaches after a while too if I don't just take a break to recover and fix it. Levels up to 33?!!! I get irritated when my levels are above 10-12, I couldn't even contemplate how awful he must be feeling if he's that high! Wouldn't surprise me if that was the main contributor to his behaviour, however it in no way justifies it or makes it ok. You shouldn't have to feel scared of him or what he might do. It's also very dangerous for his physical health and could lead to diabetic ketoacidosis etc, not fun. To again repeat what TooMuchGlucose said, you cant risk your own health for his. Diabetes is hard to deal with for both 'sufferers' (for want of a less negative word) and family members/friends, but it should be something that can be helped with support if needed, and shouldn't have such a negative effect on both of your lives. I'd say maybe give him some time/space to decide how best to help himself; if he won't do that then he's never going to be able to be supportive towards you. I'm sorry this is so hard for you right now and hope things improve. Rachel x [/QUOTE]
