Yes living alone with diabetes is fine given modern treatment and some robust habits. Here's the instruction to the people I know I will be spending longer stretches of time with: When I look very tired, disoriented, or talk incoherently: fetch orange juice or some other sugary drink. Make sure I drink it. When you find me unconscious: roll me on the side, call an ambulance. You can put sugar under my tongue but do keep watching me. If you feel confident, apply the syringe from the orange box in the fridge. Thankfully, none of this has played out so far. Except that I had to rely on friends a few times when my sugar ran out. That's already plenty scary.
