[QUOTE="tigger, post: 1668551, member: 11023"] [USER=434849]@SHmano[/USER] I have had type 1 for 34 years and have been married for nearly 14 years. I have also had bad hypos at nights including comas. My husband is great and has spotted some of the night ones and treated/got help as necessary. Yes it's not fun but he did know about this before he signed up with me. If someone truly cares for you then it's part of the package. You can educate him about how it feels, what he can do (men like to be able to do things), how sometimes it is out of your control/penalty of too tight control to prevent long term complications. I would however recommend marriage counselling as what you are saying sounds more connected to your relationship than your diabetes. Also how much does you having a hypo affect him? Do you have awareness? Most of the time I keep a juice carton by my bed so if I wake up with a hypo I can treat without getting out of bed/disturbing my husband. However, he'd rather be woken up to be asked to get me juice then find me in a coma. Good luck in finding a better way to deal with this and you are not a failure! It takes two people to make a marriage but only one to break it. [/QUOTE]
