Love and Diabetes: dLife Valentine's Day Quiz Tests and Teaches Important Relationship Lessons for People With Diabetes

WESTPORT, Conn., Feb. 8 PRNewswire — Just in time for Valentine's Day, dLife.com, the number one source for diabetes information, inspiration, and connection, has a spicy and informative "Is Your Partner Bad For Your Diabetes?" relationship quiz for people with diabetes. Accessible at http://www.dlife.com/diabetes-valentines, the quiz is designed to have people test their IQ on diabetes, dating, and romantic relationships.

Partners can help or sometimes be toxic for diabetes control. They may not even know they are impacting the health of their loved one. When dating, some people keep their diabetes to themselves, while others wear their type 1 or type 2 diabetes on their sleeve and make it part of their introductions. Being close with someone means that they need to know what diabetes involves on a daily basis. For those who have diabetes, it's important to have a partner who supports them and their efforts to keep their blood sugar under control.

The "Is Your Partner Bad For Your Diabetes?" quiz addresses many emotional and physical relationship issues and situations, including blood sugar testing before sex, feelings of depression, recognizing diabetes emergencies, and type 1 or type 2 concerns. The multiple choice quiz format presents facts and tips in an entertaining way, to help those with diabetes and their partner determine whether their partner is hindering rather than helping in managing everyday living with diabetes.

In addition to the Valentine's Day relationship quiz, dLife.com also features valuable tips for both adults and kids to celebrate Valentine's Day while keeping their blood sugar under control. If you're one of the 21 million Americans living with diabetes, the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day can be difficult with visions of red foil hearts, chocolate kisses, and other sweet temptations dancing in your head. Visitors to www.dlife.com/diabetes-valentines will gain advice from experts, as well as suggestions from others living with diabetes, on how to overcome sweet temptations, and ways to enjoy the day with your loved ones.
