[QUOTE="leggott, post: 139709, member: 20065"] Hi. My husband has type 1 d, along with 2 of my children - so I'm surrounded by it! I never get frustrated with my husband as I know how hard he trys to control his diabetes. Managing 2 diabetic kids makes me fully appreciate the issues he faces on a daily basis. Having said that, I do like to be a bit involved with his diabetes and always ask him whether he has checked his blood before he leaves the house and make sure he has his kit & glucose tabs when he goes out. He may see this as nagging, but I know he understands how much I care. My husband is very well controlled and rarely has hypo's which need any intervention from me. Having said that, I have witnessed a bad hypo which did need intervention. This was very uspetting for me, so I can understand that if your husband has seen you in this vunerable state he may show his fear as frustrations. Watching someone have a hypo can be very frightening and upsetting and perhaps this is his way of showing his concerns as he loves you. I agree with Nigel's comments, it might help to keep a food diary for a while to see if you can find any reasons for the hypo's. You won't be able to rule them out completely, but by tweaking a few things it might help reduce their frequency. [/QUOTE]
