Newbie Partner

[Trules]

Hi Everyone!

My Partner has Type 1 Diabetes and is usually well controlled. The other night he had a massive hypo in which he was practically unconcious, this was very scary!

After this incident i realised although I know the basics of being diabetic I dont really fully understand it all so have decided to join this site to get other partners advice / views etc.

hi and welcome trules im glad your here we have a hand full of people on here who have partners who are diabetic , it is always good to load up on info so if ever these things occur again you know what your doing , have a browse around here also i would say the local library could be an idea maybe they do a couple of books on partners of diabetics , i bet that was very scary for you to see your partner going through that he knows youre there for him im sure and now your on here whenever you need any adivde or any info please ask anytime xx

Well, you've certainly come to the right place to learn lots about Diabetes, I've learnt so much since joining, and it's certainly a more pleasant way of picking up info than poring over books!! (although that is also to be recommended, lol, it's just you don't get friendly banter back from books, lol)

Hope you like what you see, you're certainly very welcome.
