[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 770041, member: 84857"] [USER=37714]@Jaxx01[/USER] [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] [USER=8799]@iHs[/USER] .....thank you all for your advice... Have bought Lucozade and glucose tablets just in case needed but note your comments about whether these will be accepted if having a hypo...is best to have them to hand just in case though....it does concern me though that he will not have anything with him when he is out and driving...I did suggest that he kept something in the car but he wasn't keen on that idea....will see if they move from the kitchen table where I have left them ....will also make sure I keep something in my handbag for when we are out together (just in case)....am a bit wary of buying anything that is too tempting such as fruit pastilles as would be too easy to eat the lot regardless of having a hypo or not (may keep some hidden in my bag as a back up plan/ in case of emergencies)..... [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] ...regarding weight he is overweight (BMI over 35) so guess this will affect the amount of insulin that he will ultimately require....his weight has been relatively stable and he finds it difficult to lose weight as unable to exercise due to joint pain....or so he says....will try to suggest keeping carbs down and will reduce where possible with our evening meal ....would also like to encourage him to be more active but it is a battle.....if he doesn't want to do it he won't despite my suggestions that it will help... Will just have to see what the next few days and weeks bring ......and be prepared for any eventualities..... [/QUOTE]
