Hi
I am the wife of a diabetic. We have been together 14 years, he has been diabetic since his teens so I already knew everything when we met.
It’s lonely being a partner. I don’t like to talk to him about the difficulties of the condition when I need to intervene as I fear upsetting him, nor can I talk to friends or family as I respect his privacy. I am on my own in this and yet feel guilty to need to find a support group for myself.
