My girlfriend is diabetics

Good in the first place I am new in the forum I am going to introduce myself, I am an angel, I am a type 3 diabetic, that is, I convince a type 1 diabetic person, an insulinic -dependent, and I have some doubts and questions.

My girlfriend and I are going to live together shortly, and I know that he takes great care of his hemoglobin is 7, which is very good, but I know that he always eats the right thing and does not happen excessively to touch good levels ofglucose,

What are the suitable and correct levels, before eating and after eating, maximum and minimum?

My greatest fear is that you go to bed with a low level or during the course of the night I got off and I march to work and she does not rise, she is very sleepy and normally it is hard to get up, sometimes youHe lifts in 40 or 30, and if he were not at his side he could not get up, I went to work at 6 in the morning and she until 8 or 9 does not get up, as we could do to have greater control and security, I am very afraid that I do not get up and something happens, what I usually do is to measure it when I get up and if I need it, I give you something to eat ...

I would like you to advise me, and give me solutions and advice, and personal experiences, thank you very much in advance,

All the best!

Angel

Do you want your girlfriend to get involved in your diabetes?This is a very important point.There are diabetics that your diabetes is for this and that can cause couple problems but you get to consent.
If she seems good to get involved, you can do an analysis when you go to work, my mother has made thousands of little ones and in the end you get used to and do not wake up.If it is fair ... you take a glass of juice or water with sugar.But above all, you have to respect your partner and that she sees with good eyes that you imply.

First of all, thank you very much, she does want me to get involved, diabetes is a thing of the 2 or that is my way of seeing and she is very happy because of this, and I want or I am not involved is my girlfriend I want her share mylife with her and she is diabetic and shares her life with it for what I too,
At the moment it is what I am doing and I give her juice ... but the bad are the days she does not want to eat for having a very large low and does not eat for herself

I am very happy that your girlfriend and you have that attitude.I also think that diabetes is something more than the relationship ...
If those hiccups happen in a normal way, you will have to modify the guidelines.

What insulina do you put?Lantus?

If the slow insulin is the lantus, and currently the daily dose to 16 units is reduced and puts it at breakfast, which at night has very little insulin so that it goes down and endures something better, it is what we are testingat the moment.

And at dinner, do you use ultra-trap?How are this two hours after dinner, before going to sleep?

You are a perfect type 3;) This is nice.

Welcome Angelote ... here another type 3 twice ... It also seems to me that you do what we should do ...
As you have told you if you have such large downs. The guidelines must be badly adjusted.If before going to sleep it is a bit fair, it may need a right one, take some slow absorption hydrate to hold the night without shocks, apart from adjusting the lantus.

Greetings.

That is after fast dinner and before bedtime that is usually 4 hours after dinner it is measured again and it is necessary, somewhere to look more at the topic learning the maximum of the subject, slow action carbohydrates like ke?
Thank you very much to all
Knowing, and understanding the maximum of the subject is the best prevention

I believe that she being diabetics is part of her life and if it is part of her life of mine too, so we have to live with diabetes as well as possible.
Another issue is that he always tries to be at very fair levels I explain, he tries to always be at 100 and this is impossible, you what levels Rondais, at night, after dinner.When getting up etc ...
Because I think that if you spend the night in 180 and go down it will get up at good levels such as 70 or 80, could you give me some scales?
I really liked the acceptance in the forum and the help borrowed, I thank you for your grain of sand.Everything is important the more he knows better, and I'm going to take a look at the Clinidiabet page
all the best

What your girlfriend has to get is to bed X and get up to X. That is to have the right insulin so that he does not get off at night.In this way you could lie over 100 and maintain that good blood glucose all night (which are many hours ...).But if it has adjusted insulin, better to go to be tinked higher and adjust the insulin little by little

Welcome Angelote.I would not like to have a boyfriend like you because I need my space, but if your girlfriend is happy, everything perfect.A 10 for you for understanding you so well ;-) about what you ask, I would advise you that she never went to bed without having a quick absorption hydrate on her bedside table: Glucosport, Coca Cola ... whatever.Another thing that could also come well, if it does not, is to take the resopone: 1 ration of hydrates just before bedtime, so it would not spend so many hours with nothing and perhaps that would help you avoid your hypos.

Let everything go very well and you will tell us :-)

Angelote who is solet you are.We would already like many so much involvement, I cannot complain, although there are some things that, however much I explain it does not understand (yes, it is for everything), what I have in the nightstand is a couple of tetrabriks ofjuice of those little ones who carry the straw just in case.

That you do well in the change of life.

I am a diabetic and half my family also I am one of those who in a descent would be I would not want to eat and I have had any scare of a child because of it ... to my parents the endocrine I tell you that if I did not want to chew or could not before ofPutting the glaucagon could honey in my mouth does not need to chew because it is absorbed and apart when swallowing saliva you swallow it the same and uploads quite well and fast ... and on the punctures because I would lower the insulin of the night and in casePerhaps I would measure me soon when you are going to work, ... I think that diabetes is something that your environment should know and know more or less to do in my case all my friends know it and with whom I will think aboutEvery day they know what to do if it gives me a descent it would be and if the time comes two friends know howIt happens to you or what to do ...
