[QUOTE="gymbob, post: 656889, member: 134474"] Like nearly all the other adult type 1 people here, I neglected the condition in my teens. Unlike most I'm well past being in my twenties, in fact I'll be 45 next month. I have minor retinopathy, only detectable on annual retinal photography. No other complications. All teenagers accuse their parents of trying to control their lives, and I really used to feel my mum used my diabetes as an excuse to control more than others. Now i know she was just worried, but if she even asks about my diabetes i still have to surpress that one teenager. I know you are worried sick, but you may have to just ride it out, but at least she is still injecting, some give that up to! Make sure you are mainly the loving supportive mum she needs now, even though I know it will mean gritting your teeth while she makes some bad decisions! [/QUOTE]
