[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 875098, member: 148713"] I had a very, very brief relationship with another Type 1 when I was young. I got out very, very fast because he was so self-pitying I was repelled! (Please don't throw things at me, please, please, please.) I just don't expect people to understand it fully. I manage it myself. My son is thirty and has seen me have three serious hypos in his entire life. My husband of ten years has never seen me have a serious one. In fact I can handle my own hypos right down to 1.x mmol. If I don't go to the hospital for a long time, my husband makes an appointment for me and arranges for someone to take me there. But beyond that, it is not forefront in my relationships. However, my younger sister was diagnosed T1 in her thirties, and I confess, I feel really really horrible about this, but at some level I was glad. Aargh. But because it did turn out to be someone I can share things with in a very easy, nonchalant way without it scaring or upsetting her. Plus, she was diagnosed in France, they put her straight on her pump and she really showed me up in terms of control. So I got a big kick up the ass and have massively I improved my own management since then. [/QUOTE]
