Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kat2105" data-source="post: 2171425" data-attributes="member: 517013">Hi everyone! My partner (29, male), has type 1 diabetes, however after much nagging from me (Which I hate and feel awful about), he has finally started to test again. What concerns me, is he hasn't tested at all for the last 10 years. He has simply gone on "gut feeling". His last hba1c was 12 (we are in australia), and for the most part, his readings are always around the 12, 13mmol mark when he tests, sometimes going up to between 17 and 22. I know that he is only testing once or twice a day, and I am so so so concerned that this is all going to be doing him some significant damage. He already has no energy all the time, and I wonder if this is a result. I just was hoping for some guidance on how i can help, if i can help, what the effects of not testing for so long would be, and where he should be going from here?Any  comments or advice would be really appreciated, I love this man, and want to spend our lives together, but I'm so scared.</blockquote>
