Sounds very difficult for you, I hope you are getting support from your healthcare team ?
We've had a lot of problems the last few months. Can't say we have had much support from the Diabetic health care team. Just trying to speak to someone is near on impossible. We attend a lot of different hospital departments. Feels never ending at times.

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.

Sorry to hear that, my sister in law is a nurse and is always saying to me you have patients rights, so it's a case of shouting out loud when you need help from your team, make a nuisance of yourselves, your husband should see a dietician to help him with his diet, it's easy to start every day with the energy but then have it zapped by bedtime. Keep pushing, you will get there x

It is such a battle to get the basic appointments we often feel like giving up, but we have to carry on.
That's a good idea to ask to speak to dietician, we are so hoping he will be able to chew again and his face go back to normal.
