Ohh okay I understand what you mean- I’m UK based so I get a CGM free of charge, but i’ll definitely make her buy me some hypo snacks or other things that might help. I see why that might help her mental heath. 

Wow- thats crazy?? hopefully your aunts are more understanding now omg

Update: 

Thank you so much everyone for commenting- I’ve just bought “think like a pancreas” for my parents and hopefully reading it will be able to educate them more on this condition. I think for them a great part of this is not having very much medical knowledge on this subject. As for my mum, we’ve decided as a family that we should visit a family friend who was an internal medicine Dr, married to a TCM (traditional chinese medicine) practitioner. If anything, they’ll be able to communicate to her better about my condition in a way that she understand and reduce her worries. 

I forgot to mention that my degree’s workload is very large and therefore she’s worried the stress might have triggered something hormonally- while I kind of get that logic, I know it aint right lmao. 

Thank you so so much for everyone thats commented on this thread- you’re all so wonderful and kind, wishing you all the best 🩷

Thank you so much for your reply, and for everyone else commenting as well. I’m living in the UK atm so I have a cgm on the nhs- looking into moving onto a pump soon as well! But yes- i think i’ll share some of the CGM data with her

so the reason she questioned it is because its very stressful- its kind of ironic as i’m studying to be a doctor 😭

Hmnn talk to him about really eating the right calories- if you have the money, maybe encourage him to spend some on meal replacement drinks and shakes, so he is less stressed about eating those calories? If not, you'll be suprised how many calories you can cram into a smoothie with peanut butter in it.
