I’ve not had to deal with them really as yet … my mom is a former T2 (she tests normal so after 30 odd years of not doing so - past 5 years she’s gotten normal reading no matter what she eats or drinks). She is maybe the biggest person I am up against … I’ll measure X out for dinner and she would be like “I could have Y, so can you” or something to that effect … I always end up saying to her, “mom, I’m not you I can’t have stuff like you could” she tends to get upset over it which hurts since she seems to forget that she said it to me by the next time a meal come around (which I think might be true, her health isn’t great to start with now). Dad stays out of it and DH he just asks did I take my insulin to cover what ever it is I’ve put on my plate.
DH asking about my insulin dosage is not a bother, K it is, but since I do not like taking it I am bound to forget about it if not reminded at times, so its just become something that he does - if am out he’ll call to see how I’m doing then ask if I’d taken my dose (just as I ask him if he’s taken his if its close to when he should be taken his med - he’s epileptic)
