Hey, my Tu Diabetes friends...my girlfriend has Type 1 diabetes, so I just started a campaign called 'Run To Stop Diabetes'. Visit www.RunToStopDiabetes.com for more info on the campaign & let me know what you think!! We're running the 2011 ING NYC Marathon to raise money & awareness for diabetes.

That's a tough situation, Angie. My husband checks AT LEAST eight times a day, so he's the other extreme, but he doesn't tell me what the numbers are unless I ask. I can usually tell when he's running low or high...you just get to know the "look" and behavior signs...I'm sure you're familiar with that. I do bite my tongue sometimes because I feel like it has to get annoying when I ask several times a day, "Are you low?"..."Are you running high?"

Gayle yes i defiantly have that issue. (i found out from my other half this morning that part of the reason he doesn't check his bs much is "i worry about it being a lil off" and he doesn't like me worrying) i don't worry about his bs as much as he thinks i do i worry about him and he doesn't seem to see a difference but because he thinks i worry to much he checks it 1 time a day if at all and hes actually making me worry more because hes not keeping an eye on his bs talk about a catch 22

Just joined a few days ago and was pointed to this group. My wife is diabetic and I am not, though I do have some personal family history. She is Russian and her command of Englishe is still so/so after all these years (25), so I have to be inv olved a lot.

Hi all,

Sometimes I feel like I"m walking a fine line between being supportive and "hovering" too much. Anyone else deal with issues of striking a good balance?
