| As far as the Omnipod goes....I'm on it, maybe I can help a bit.
When he got the pump in the mail, it should have come with a great big (fairly easy to read) manual...you might want to flip through it, give you an overview on how it works and how to use it, in case there is ever an emergency, and you need to help him.
I think it is very important for the spouse to know how to work the pump...there have been times when I have been nearly incapacitated, and my husband had to help me use it. (like just two weeks ago, when I was so sick, I couldn't stop throwing up, and he had to come into the bathroom every half and hour and test my blood sugar for me, cause I couldn't move.)
Your hubby sounds like the type that doesn't like to admit it when he needs help, but everyone has an emergency sometimes, and it is just good planning for you to be informed
enough to tell the EMT's what is going on.
Maybe you two could come to a compromise...he writes down his dosages and such for you to keep handy in an emergency, and if he promises to keep it up to date, you won't ask him on a daily basis what is going on with his blood sugar.
The Omnipod does keep all your records for 90 days, you
just go to the Home Page screen, and choose "my records"...but just "for the record", if I thought my husband was sneaking around behind my back to read my data, I would be mad as heck! (He always asks if he can look first, or at least tells me he is going to check it.)
So if your hubby is that touchy about his Diabetes, then I suggest you at least tell him you are looking. Both conversations may lead to an argument, but only one leads to a lack of trust.
And if he argues that you might "screw something up" in the machine, most of the really important functions require that he put the pump into suspend mode before it will let you change it, and you have to be within 3 feet of his pod to give any insulin, so no fear of "overdosing" him accidentally while checking the records.
Good luck, and good for you for trying to be supportive (he doesn't know how lucky he is that you care).
