Just wanted to express my thanks to all of you. I posted here about a year ago after I started dating my girlfriend, who has type 1, looking for ways to better support her. I again posted here a month ago after I witnessed my first hypoglycemic seizure.
With information and support from some of you here, I was able to have an informed conversation with her regarding getting a CGM. It was a tough conversation as she was very resistant, but I was persistent and offered support in whatever way possible to get her to agree.
She was approved by her insurer and as of today, is now sporting a Dexcom. I’ve downloaded the app and will receive alerts.
I screamed in excitement when I received the video of her showing me her Dexcom (in her own perfect way, she sent me a text asking me if i wanted to see something sexy, then sent me a video teasing that she was going to flash me but it panned down to her CGM instead 😂)
Here’s the original post: https://reddit.app.link/6pHTkq3IV5
Thank you all again, for the support and kindness you’ve shown me, and to others. Now my girlfriend will be safer because you gave me the motivation to be incessantly persistent with her about getting a CGM. I will also have more peace of mind. This is a wonderful community. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
