Don't become his second doctor because that's his job and if you push him too hard, he might push himself away, and you don't want that.

This goes for if your girlfriend/wife has it too. My boyfriend has been incredibly patronizing and a worrier over my diabetes, and has also attributed many of my emotions to it. This can cause a real problem in the relationship. Just chill and don't show worry or too much concern. Be sure to give him the benefit of the doubt...that he is very intelligent and knows how to get informed. Get informed yourself too because even though my boyfriend shows worry and concern, I swear, he still doesn't know a carb from a protein. This is very annoying to me. He'll be, "can you eat this, can you eat that?" This is after two years of me being a diabetic...I feel that he should read up on it himself...I would if he were the one with it...
And, your boyfriend may be fine...I'd relax until you get the true results.
