Hi everyone, I'm not diabetic but my partner is. I have concerns about dealing with hypo in my partner. I'm having some problems coping with my partner with his sugar swings. When he gets hypo he can be very difficult to deal with and sometimes just down right rude. Has anyone out there had a problem like this. How do you handle this? He doesn't seem to care about his behavior. I know this is very difficult on our children and he doesn't seem to care about that either. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Goodness, sounds like your not getting any support from your partner. It may take your partner some time to figure out his hypoglycemic times and adjust his behaviors. No doubt he is experiencing dizziness, fatigue and confusion. You might try talking to him when his blood sugar levels are fairly normal and let him know that you are supportive. When he becomes hypoglycemic, offer him a healthy snack whether it be some fruit juice or energy bar. Suggest to him that he might want to take a nap as well. Let him know how it makes you feel when he is grumpy and not very cooperative. Let him know that you will be supportive in every way you can but it's important that he get his blood sugar levels under control as soon as possible. This will make him much more pleasant and easier to live with. If your partner is home a lot, you might be better able to monitor his eating habits. You might be able to make sure he eats the appropriate foods. Not only eat the right foods but eat them at the appropriate time. That way you can hurry the process up a little and keep in a reasonable good mood consistently. Best of luck to you!
