My boyfriend (B) is type 1. He has the dexcom constant glucose monitor which relays his number to my phone, his mom, dad, etc. B luckily still lived at his parents as he struggles with night time lows (he just dropped low, which prompted me writing this). Even though he has the monitor which sets out an alarm when he’s low he sleeps through it more often than not. Luckily I’m usually awake late to see the notification on my phone to try to call him to wake him to drink juice. But sometimes, like tonight, he doesn’t hear his phone ring either and this doesn’t wake up.
Often times I have to call his mother or father to wake up and give home juice if I am unable to do so, like I did tonight. There has also been instances where If his mom or dad are not at their houses (they are separated) and B is low and I can’t wake him up. I need to drive over super late at night and get into the house to give him juice. Luckily I only live 5 minutes away from his dad and 10 away from his mom.
I worry about him living on his own, as he wants to move out within the next year or so. If he moves to far away (I’m still in college, and won’t be able to go with him until I finish), I worry that he won’t be able to live alone as he doesn’t wake up to low alarms and such on his own and I won’t be close enough to drive to him like I am now.
Do you guys have any tips, comments, or words of advice for this? I’d really appreciate it
