Xavier, your boyfriend of 2 years, was said to develop diabetes at the age of 3. Ever since then, he has been through all kinds of extra routines to keep himself in check.

You two are on the couch, watching a movie on the computer. Then, the beeping from Xavier's dexcom goes off, he's running low on bloodsugar.

You quickly help him put in insulin and glucose through the pump on his arm.

"Thank you, my love."

He smiles gently, then rests his head on your arm and starts to fall asleep slowly, probably from the suddenness of the bloodsugar spike.
