Relationship conflict due to Hypo/Hyperglycaemia

Hi everyone,

I'm a Type one diabetic (14 years) and have excellent overall control. However, I am currently in a very stressful exam period and struggling with my blood glucose. I've found my ratios shift constantly and insulin doesn't respond how it usually would, because of this I have been having highs and lows much more often. Due to Stress, Poor sleep and average blood glucose my partner has been struggling with me being grumping and occasionally lashing out. I apologize every time it happens but am struggling to change. I would love some advice on how everyone (both type 1 diabetics and their partners) deal with this. If anyone could offer advice on what they do/say when they are feeling this way I would be incredibly grateful, I hate when I get this way!

Also, I have a review with my specialist soon and I'm planning to see if I can be referred to a psychologist to help me manage this.

Thank you for your support,
