let's discuss the spouses:
i have one..and this has been hard for him...he is a total control freak...the type that walks into a room and has to change something...the light has to be turned off if on...etc...it has scared him to death...for months all he would let me eat was kale and sf jello...i still had high numbers at the start...at first i wasnt allowed to eat anything that had sugar or taste...he even started cooking so he could control that too....
10 months in....he has adjusted...he reminds me to test...eat, test, etc..the thing i do that annoys the hell out of him..i will use the same lancet for weeks....lol...
he went out of town last night...just for the night...o gosh...he called ever 2 hours...i just realized this am....it is the first night i was alone...since we found out i was diabetic....i truly believe his concern is more the passing out...at this point..he is afraid i will pass out ...be hurt and be alone...when we are outside...he makes sure i am safely away from the edges...he wants to hold my hand all the time...i am like....look if i pass out and you have my arm like this you are gonna break my damned arm or yours...he thinks since i lost weight it wont be a problem...hello its all dead weight....
i agree about the lancets!!! one shot deals.
let me say this. As annoying as it is having him hover over you... its much better to have someone looking out for you then someone who does not give a shit about you.
