I've been married for 33 years and my husband is very good about hypos.  I had some severe ones when I was pregnant which terrified him, but he helped me and still helps now if I get too low.  I feel very lucky to have him there at night in case I have a night time hypo.  He's always helped me if I'm hypo, day or night, but then I've been diabetic for the entire time we've known each other.The only annoying thing is that he sometimes accuses me of being hypo when I'm not  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Hypos are horrible. If I have a bad one (luckily very rare) it can put me out for a whole day.  Night time hypos are the worst though, and can be very dangerous, particularly if you don't have a partner available or willing to help you through them.  I would agree that you may need to reduce your basal insulin so as to keep your blood sugar higher.  As regards your husband being unsympathetic, I would recommend talking to him to let him know how you feel.  If you can't talk to him maybe marriage counselling????</blockquote>
