[QUOTE="MagsW, post: 457650, member: 14045"] My 17 year old daughter is rarely checking her blood sugar levels and I suspect rarely calculates/corrects insulin levels. My attempts to encourage and motivate her are not working, she is seriously fed up of the impact of diabetes. I had hoped when the clinic introduced teenage group meetings she would find support from others in the same situation but it seems she is now even more complacent having discovered that her control is better than some others (despite her frequently having blood sugar levels of 25+ mmol/L). Before I make things worse has any parent dealt with this situation and has any advice/suggestions I could try? (my daughter was diagnosed type 1, 12 years ago). [/QUOTE]
