[QUOTE="Getting desperate, post: 185005, member: 33180"] Thank you for your replies Donnelydogs and HLW. I have called the paramedics on lots of occcasions. Whnever they bring him round he refuse to go to hospital. I do sometimes find myself hoping that the will have to someday but that will mean that he's in danger and I don't want that. With regards to the driving, the last incident was 2 years ago and he now tests at my insistence before driving. I spoke to him last night about the drinking and although he huffed and didn't actually say anything, he didn't drink last night. I understand what you are saying about him not being aware of what he does when he's hypo and I do make him aware but I don't want to embarrass or shame him by over egging how scared I am when he is really bad. Sorry. I know most people would just be firm and tell him to sort himself out but he has such a strange attitude to diabetes. I am barely even allowed to mention the word and it is NEVER talked about. He refused to tell our children about it so I had to and even they know that Dad's a "bit silly" about it and doesn't like it talked about. The are rarely alone with him and I have taught them wha to do in an emergency. TBH I think he is screwed up about it (possibly due to his mother's negative reaction to his diagnosis when he was smal) and I don't know how to deal wth all that psychology. He is not the sort to talk about feelings and I don't think that's a nut I'm going to crack. Sorry for not being more decisve about this. I knew what I was getting myself into when we married but as he gets older, my fear of losing him is heightened. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
