Spouse is a Diabetic 1.5

Not sure if okay if not the one with the disease but trying to learn more about my wife's disease so I can help her more. I do not have diabetes but my wife was diagnosed as a 1.5.

The doctors at Mayo (and many of them) think the Vegas nerve was injured during stomach surgery and caused an issue between her pancreas and her brain and the diabetes. However she was insulin resistant prior to that. She was just diagnosed about 3 years ago.

With the 1.5 diagnosis she does get insulin sometimes from her pancreas. She is on the computer system that automatically puts insulin when programmed to do or you enter to compensate for carbohydrates.

She has very high swings upward and low. Over the last year I had to administer the glucose shot to her when she became unconscious. We bought a visual monitor so I could see her glucose level at all times.

Is there any one else out there with a 1.5 diagnosis with similiare issues that I can learn from to help her. We do have excellent care at Mayo Jacksonville so it is not a problem with medical provider.

She does not like me addressing her eating. I see a physciatric specialist at Mayo as I develped PTSD anxiety disorder about 10 years ago. That speicalist advised not to try and direct someone to do this or that and they can rebel. So any guidance here would help with similiar experience.

She now has some other medical issues which has added even more stress and anxiety and I think that too adds to the problem on controlling her diabetes.
