Hi everyone. My son hasn't been managing his diabetes very well at school, he has been making excuses to get out of lesson early to do a check, and not actually do one. he has been making up readings as they record them n a diary.
So to try to and get some control back for him, we invested in the freestyle libre. It has taken a few weeks to convince him that it is a good idea to try the new meter, and this evening we managed to apply the sensor for the first time.
On seeing the sensor our son stormed out of the room saying it's massive and it will get knocked and come off at school.
My question is, are there any parents out there whose child is behaving in a similar way with diabetes management and if you have tried the freestyle libre And what reaction you got first time it was applied?
I am hoping he will come round and get used to it so we are not activating it until tomorrow.
Any help comments greatly appreciated.
