My husband has diabetes and doesnt seem to take it seriously he basically takes his insulin only when he decides to not when hes suppose to and tonight hes been having to pee like every 10 min and so i was worried and asked him if he was ok and he got mad and told me that my worrying is starting to sound like nagging, what can i do to make me feel better and not sound like a nag?

You are not nagging him at all... It sounds to me like you just are concerned and caring about his welfare and health. He should have been glad that you cared enough to ask him if he was ok. Love him where he is at and i guess do not ask so many questions next time if he thinks it is nagging. He may have not been feeling well when he said that to you either as sometimes people can get grumpy and say things they dont mean when they are not feeling well. Just be supportive of your husband no matter what and love him through this and be there for him. Good luck to you and i hope your husband gets feeling better soon. I also feel that your husband does not want you to worry about him so much.

My husband is a diabetic too, he takes the pills though, he doesn't need insulin shots. He also said that I was nagging him when I asked him if he took his medicine, because he wouldn't take it on his own. After months of him telling me this, and yelling at me about nagging him, I grabbed his hand and lead him to our kids room, who were 2 yrs and 9 months old at the time, I said they are the reason I ask you the same question every day, I want them to grow up and know how wonderful you can be. I have not had to ask him since then if he had taken his medicine.

Being concerned is one thing; being nagging is another. Try to understand where he's coming from. He could be anoyed that he needs to pee so often thus your concern could come across as nag. Leave him alone, he needs some personal space. Just keep a distance from him and whenever your help is being sort, offer with a willing heart. He will realise that he can count on you.

To him it's nagging. To everyone else it's you just looking after him. Have one good sit down talk and express the fact that you love and him and fear that someday something will happen that would make you sad. Let him know that you believe in him and will support him. Remember, tone and inflection go a long way so keep your voice decent.
But after that, leave him to his own. Sometimes people have to find things out for themselves. Just try to be supportive.
There's a saying/joke.

Just keep an eye on him for your own piece of mind. Perhaps not in a vocal way but just so you know what's going on to be prepared in case he has an episode. Obviously he is having a hard time coming to terms with his condition kind of denial. Unfortunately it is a bit dangerous for him to behave this way but it is in the end up to him to take control. I do understand your concern and I really feel for you.

I`d say:
I`m the one that will be looking after you when.................................................................(the effects of him not taking his insulin). But more than that, I don`t want bad things to happen to you. Please understand, I only say things because I love you and I want you to be well.
It worries me when you don`t take your medicine. How can we organise it so you remember to take it, so I don`t have to nag you.
In a sweet loving way.......perhaps while cuddling.

Stop...He's a typical guy we don't like to feel we are not in control..But if he loves you and his family let him know how serious it would be if you lost him?! He'll come around!!
