Modified on 2/13/18: I was married to man who was a Type 1 diabetic for over 30 years. He also had sleep apnea, spinal stenosis, neuropathy, gastroparesis, and retinopathy. He had triple bypass surgery and a kidney transplant (I was the living donor). Because of his high and low blood sugars, mood swings were a constant concern. Although I tried very hard to stay, we lost each other along the way. Leaving was a very tough decision for me, but staying was even more difficult.

Best wishes to Diabetes Wife and hubby
Many kudos to Diabetes Wife today. See her post at: http://wifeofadiabetic.blogspot.com/2011/02/everyone-needs-bitch-like-me.html After 3 weeks of dealing with almost anything that could possibly go wrong with her husband's back surgery, she has made the decision to bring him home. Rehab at the hospital was anything but, with messed up or missed meds, and one scare and indignity after another. Diabetes Wife, may your hubby continue to improve, and hopefully stay off dialysis. It is truly scary when we cannot put our trust in the very health professionals who are supposed to help us and our loved ones get well. She and hubby need all the prayers and positive thoughts/energy we can possibly send her right now, as this will not be easy. May this prolonged nightmare finally have a good outcome for both of you!
