I donāt share with either family or a healthcare provider. Neither is appealing to me.
I donāt think I would have gotten very far with a partner who didnāt respect and accept my boundaries re my own diabetes. Iāll tell mine whatās up when Iām having issues, and occasionally if I seem off sheāll ask, but in general she assumes itās my business to share with her as I see fit. Also itās hard enough sometimes for myself not to overreact when my Dex is still alarming and I know Iāve adequately treated a low. She still is surprised by how long it takes to registerāI definitely do not need concerned texts/messages when Iām off dealing with it elsewhere or whatever.
Totally different I think for kids/teens, though with teens Iād be working with a plan toward independence with it then becoming their choice if they want to keep sharing as they become adults.@chris, you seem on track for that which seems sensible.
