I recently started dating my now girlfriend and from the beginning, i felt like i wanted to take care of her. She is 22 years old, has a daughter, and has been through alot of bad in her life. I want to be the good in it. I have learned alot more about diabetes in the past 3 weeks than i have ever known in my life, but i need more information. I dont want to ask her because she gets very emotional about it and she gets very sad.
I want her to have a healthier diet, but we go out for food alot because we do not have access to a kitchen.
What can i do or where should we eat that is best for her health?
Also, she likes to go out and drink(alcohol) with her friend...alot, she has a bit of a drinking problem, but i cannot really judge because i do also myself. however, since we met, we are helping each other drink less often.
What kind of toll will this take on her body? Is there any way she can drink and not have consequences later?
Out of 5 frozen yogurt places we have visited, there has not been one with a sugar-free option.
What is a good alternative?
When i am sick and doctors give me medication, i rarely ever take it, and i just fight it off eventually so when we get up in the morning and she tells me that she feels okay, i asked her if she could skip the insulin until she really feels like she needs it, and maybe she will eventually not need any...is that possible?
she got the diabetes after having her child, what are the chances that she and i can have healthy children in the future?
my friends and i are planning a hiking trip this summer, are there any emergency items/information i should bring/know about if she comes with us? i dont want to make her stress too much.
sometimes when her sugar is too high, she will take another shot of insulin or take another pill, and then it will go too low a few moments later, and she will eat something really sugary, so her sugar level is going up and down and up... is that really bad for her?
i have alot more questions, but i guess this is all i can think of right now. please help with answers if possible
thanks,
andrew
