I’ve been staying at my mums since she was discharged from hospital a week and half ago, she has been incredibly anxious about her sugar levels (type 2). Tonight she asked me to check it and it was 7.5 and she wanted to bring it up before bedtime so I made her a sandwich, checked it again 10.5, so I said it’s fine go to bed but she’s frightened to go to sleep and asked me to do it again. I said no, she started crying and begged me so I checked it again and it’s 11.4, again I said it’s fine go to bed.
She’s now wandering in and out of my room begging me to do it, crying. I hate hearing her cry but I’m finding it hard to be sympathetic, I can’t spend all night keep checking it.
Then I feel anxious in case god forbid it does go low and I’ll never forgive myself.
She’s just begged again for me to check it promising she won’t ask me anymore so I’ve done it again and it’s 12.9. She won’t believe it’s high enough and keeps crying and saying sorry and she’s too frightened to sleep, she’s now asking for milk and biscuits to bring it up.
She’s just asked again, I can’t deal with this, what can I do, she’s so anxious. She’s even asked to go to hospital so they can get it sorted!
Sorry to vent at this time of night xx
