Hey Guys!

He got home on Monday evening guys, I've been doing my best to look after him but I've had to keep taking breaks myself as I've been having issues with hypos after hypos, I am guilty of not eating properly over the last few days and only having 1 meal so that along with the worry and stress has played absolute havoc with me, he's been up and downstairs today though so that's been nice xxxx

Such good news @Kaylz . Hopefully now things will be able to settle down again, and you can settle back into a routine again with your meals. Well done on managing all this. Be proud.
 
Pleased to hear Bruce is home, but to look after Bruce you need to look after yourself as well by eating enough. Take care.

100% agree @Grannylorraine

Thanks for the update @Kaylz - and so glad Bruce is home, but do look after yourself too! Do you think the warmer weather might be contributing to your low BGs?
 
Sorry guys been a busy bee the last few weeks doing everything I can obviously, things seem to be settling down BG wise this week finally! Bruce after 7 weeks off is due to go back to work on Monday, he has had his epilepsy medication increased so currently going through the increase just now as the chemist had trouble getting them (they had the same issue when he was transitioning to the new medication at the end of last year) he's almost done his first week so 3 more weeks until he's finished the increase (1st week is evening then 2nd week same doses morning and evening, 3rd week only evening increases ans 4th he'll be on his new dose both morning and evening) he's had his dietician appointment too and been confirmed coeliac so despite you guys knowing my struggles with food before I've done pretty well in changing this week to go gluten free too! I'm actually quite enjoying gluten free rolls etc and I have to say my tummy is feeling better after the switch as well, I know we get tested for it but I haven't had an annual for a while so I don't know if I need to be or it's just a good change but either way it's good! Hope your all doing well xxxx

Sorry I meant to tag you and reply to this bit in my reply above, we weren't that hot at the time lovely, we weren't having near as high temps as you guys in England at that time, I think it was just all the worry and stress xxxx
 
I don’t know how I have missed this whole thread so far! So good to heAr from you again Kaylz, you’ve really risen to the occasion looking after Bruce. Can’t believe how brave you have been! Be proud of yourself.
 
So good to have the update @Kaylz , and great to read that Bruce is making so much progress and that the meds are settling things for him. Good to have a definite coeliac diagnosis for Bruce and well done on managing the change in diet for both of you. You should definitely be giving your self a big pat on the back for managing all that you have and for how you have been such a support to Bruce.
Well done.
