Will you leave your significant other when they are diagnosed with diabetes? *I won't but i feel guilty of even thinking about it. I'm just scared. *

that would be so screwed up
I have diabetes and I manage it well
check my Glucose several times a day and I have meds to deal with it accordingly
I was left crippled ,,there is nothing colder you can do to someone ,,,and I see it as pretty low
People who love each other are there for the good and the bad
not just until the waters get a little rough
That would be screwed up ,,,diabetes is manageable

@rckt148 i know, i just found out and i was just scared but I am willing to be in his team and support him all the way.

@MegumiTakani13 yea that would be pretty low life to leave someone over that ,,its very manageable ,,,unless they choose not to ,,,then watching them destroy themselves ,,
but in love we take the good with the bad ,,,or we should

I've got a very stubborn one and I am acting like I am the sick one...but he has to get his act together. It will be hard to love someone who cannot love themselves

Learn as much as you can... if you can be WATCHFUL (don’t do for him) make sure he eats about the same amount of carbs and uses the almost the amount of insulin every day , should be okay. Follow doctor’s orders. If he’s not okay have him check his sugar level immediately.
Mindful · 56-60, F
He needs to eat the same meals or same amount of food at the same time every day, check his sugar level. He can learn to read his symptoms if he memorized the chart and pays attention to his body.... over heating is low sugar, slow movements and sleepyness is high sugar. He can treat them by not eating if it’s high, but snacking if he’s hot and sweaty which is for low sugar by. Drinking half a cup of juice.@MegumiTakani13

@Mindful these are wonderful info... He is a hardheaded dude, i am not sure how he will change now that he has diabetes, i will try to help him
Mindful · 56-60, F
Hmmmm u can always threaten to leave him if he doesn’t follow Drs Orders @MegumiTakani13
nah it would have to be something contagious like the flu
Mindful · 56-60, F
No. It’s not contagious. But then I’m the diabetic and am loved by many..So if that’s a serious hang up for you, you should leave. I wouldn’t want pity. I like being loved.

If you’re scared, then educate yourself about the disease so you can help them to manage it.
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
@LyricalOne that is what i am doing now.
LyricalOne · F
@MegumiTakani13 You’ll be fine, just takes a period of adjustment.
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
I think we will manage like we did before... There are so many hindrances in our relationships and they are showing up one by one, i just felt overwhelmed.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
No, not if they tried to manage it. If they were in denial and not seeking treatment or anything, that would be different.

Yeh, that's definitely why I'd leave them.
i may be a bastard.. but im not a fucking bastard...

Why are you scared?
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
I am trying, i know my mother is just looking out for me, she said she doesn't want me to someday have a sick husband and racists inlaws
Allelse · 36-40, M
@MegumiTakani13 Hahaha! Yeah I wouldn't want that for my daughter either. And its good that you can see from your Mummy's point of view.
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
Yeah, thats another reason why i am scared...they thought i will just be another asian gold digger, but here i am losing sleep thinking about how to learn to care for a diabetic. I am ready to sacrifice for my love for their son

If they were like "I'm gonna drink 12 pepsi a day and if i'm bed ridden and obese with my foot cut off I don't mind" then yeah.
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
@Ryannnnnn haha that is what i am afraid of
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@MegumiTakani13 Haha. Well you gotta sit down and have an honest discussion. You can love someone all you want, but you wanna be their partner, not their carer.
MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
@Ryannnnnn that is very well said... I need to slap that man

Reflection2 · 41-45, M

MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F

Chaoshead · 22-25, M
@BeefySenpie It's contagious. 😰
SW-User
Nah but I’d try to not be too sweet with him
jackson55 · M
I thought it was until death do we part.

JBird · F

MegumiTakani13 · 36-40, F
@JBird i did not but he dumped me when i asked for commitment
SW-User

JavaJoe · 51-55, M
