What tips/support can you offer me about my boyfriend managing his life threatening condition better?

I agree. He needs to talk it out and accept what’s going on in his body before he can come to terms and try to help himself and get better.

okay thank you im know that, but im more or less looking for advice from someone who has personally experienced this or known someone who has suffered from diabetes and can off me advice on better management. The depression part i can handle, managing the disease is what i need help with.

Thanks anyways.

p.s its a life long disease, he can’t “try to get better”

Well, he HAS to monitor his sugar levels…every diabetic knows that…..He can’t be eating sugar, either. He needs to keep his weight down as well.

You’d think that the Dr.’s would see that he’s not in very good shape, and even with National Health, would speed up the CT scan a tad….6 months would be unheard of here.

Now…the hard part? You can’t MAKE him do anything, and men are notoriously difficult when it comes to medical situations (I think that may be why they die earlier)….You can try an ultimatum…..but be prepared to back it up. He’s being inconsiderate, and selfish…..

I’m very sorry. Stay strong. Tell him to keep focus on the better things in life. Like his family, girlfriend, anything.
