Hello,
I am a couple of a diabetic man (he has type 1 diabetes - he debuted at age 14).We still do not live together, but when we have gone on a trip or on vacation and we slept together, I have taken some other scare , and I did not know this disease on this disease.That so far I had not had anyone in my family with type 1 diabetes, and I am discovering it little by little through my partner ...
I go to the grain;How many hypoglycemia can be considered "normal" a week, for example?
I imagine that it will depend on the person and how to carry their diabetes, but my partner has been having several hypoglycemia per week (I talk about values between 30 to 50) ... it happens several times a week, is this normal?
The first time I stayed to sleep with him I remember that he got up with hypoglycemia, he didn't speak anything, I had some difficulty articulating words and thinking, and I got very nervous ... the first thing I did was prepare breakfast at the speed atFrom a ray to start eating as soon as possible and recovering ... Once breakfast he already returned to normal.
On another occasion we went on vacation, and when I got up for breakfast, about 9 in the morning I looked at him and I saw him convulsing ... My God, what was wrong, I lifted it because I was aware, but neither did I spoke or expressedNothing ... I was gone, it wasn't him ... I grabbed a piece of chocolate that we had in the fridge and gave it to him, he started to eat it slowly, very little by little, until in 15 minutes he recovered and became againhe...
This last weekend we went a couple of days to the beach and we also slept in an apartment, and the first night, but the second, at about 3 in the morning I noticed that I was convulsing and touched it and was sweating... My God, another hypoglycemia !!, I lifted it, I was aware, I told him that I was low sugar, that I had to take a juice and eat something ... and so it was, I gave him a chocolate yogurt and a juice,Because I noticed that it was very low, and while I did the sugar test and I was in 35 !!!
I spend so bad that I am afraid to sleep with him, because I am only thinking that I can enter hypoglycemia and not realize him or me, and that the consequences are to call Emergency ... I didn't know that this disease was like this and as far as I know, it has hypoglycemia every week, is it normal to go through several hypoglycemia per week?
Do you know if there are sensors for diabetics that let them know when they enter hypogecemia?With him ... I don't sleep from fear ...
