[QUOTE="concernedgirlf, post: 257778, member: 42671"] Hey, i'm not a diabetic myself, however my boyfriend of nearly a year is and i would like to get a better understanding of type one diabetes as his family is protective and concerned with regards to his diabetes and i would like to know what to do in the event of a hypo or a hyper? I know he takes insulin 4 times a day, yet he doesn't regularly check his blood sugar levels before every injection. Recently he took a bad hypo which he couldn't be woke manually from yet had to have a high sugar content juice placed in his mouth. This, as you can assume, scared the life out of me! so i would like to be prepared in case something like this would ever happen again, i have already talked to him and told him that i never want him to allow himself to get like that again, as it was caused by not eating regular meals that day and alcohol, so i'm hoping he is aware of how dangerous his actions can be. I know make sure that he tests himself more and i have energy tablets and lucozade in my house just in case, as well as a testing kit, needles and injections. But i just want whats best for him because i don't want him to loose limbs, become blind and defiantly not die young! :( please help, i want to know what i should do in different occasions so that i don't have to ask him all of the time, as he is liable to tell me everything is alright whenever it isn't, as this has happened before. Thank you for any replies and suggestions! :thumbup: it is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
