[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2589689, member: 101136"] Hi again, OK, your kid is ten. At that age articulate enough.. I was 8 (well on a birthday.) when diagnosed in 1976.I remember my mum upset when we came away from appointments at “something” a nurse said..? On one occasion, they asked me what I liked to eat. I loved salads.. Still do. (Today, I can only assume. They thought it a “hippy diet?” I love meat also.) Family dynamics change for a child with this condition. You got no idea how my sisters woke my dad whilst I was out all night with a girl & didn’t come home. Till the early hours. (Later than the time I normally do…) they thought me upside down in a ditch. (My dad was cool.) It is easier said than done when someone else is giving advice. (& it probably ain’t working?) when your child is a little older, we are all individual.. they may be dealing with diabetes in their own world… I was told by a DSN recently my BGs behave when I’m out gigging. Living the “rock & roll” lifestyle as a band member. (Not in a “hedonistic way” I’m mindful of my diabetes.) Now she is a lovely woman. But “give up the day job?” I got as much chance of becoming a premier league footballer.. (frowned apon back in the 1980s. Times have changed a little, but not much. There still seems to be the odd DSN “dragon.” But that’s not to say they are all bad.. They Just don’t walk “the mile” in our shoes… Keep talking to us, but I’ll stick my neck out & suggest your DSN has about as as much clout as a “pillow fight.” :) Keep talking to us. [/QUOTE]
