welcome Ryan - what a wonderful thing you're doing taking time to learn all about your girlfriends condition.... she will sure appreciate it. Someone mentioned teamwork makes all the difference... I agree it has to be a good thing. I don't have that option... I manage my condition on my own and I can tell you that sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone looking out for me. Keep up the learning and I'm sure you will have a head full of knowledge in no time. The best thing though is to learn what symptoms are for hypo's, etc... so you can also be on the alert to make sure your gf is safe. I'm still trying to teach that to ppl around me regularly and they often still miss when I'm having hypo as they haven't recognised signs.
[/QUOTE i don't think that she has ever had a boyfriend that took as much intrest in her diabetes as i am so i think it is a little bit shocking to her but team work will absolutely benifit her in the long run! i am learning the symptons and i do pay close attention to how she feels. she has a pretty good grasp on what her body is doing and when she needs to eat or take her insulin. she needs to eat better and start excersizing! of course that has to come on her own free will so all i can do is hopefully set a good example for her.
