[QUOTE="sunday, post: 553850, member: 72352"] Yes, we parents often cannot imagine what you are going through and how it´s really like to handle diabetes. And we´re so old :) Most of us have forgotten how it is to be young and some of us remember very well and are afraid that you are going to make the same mistakes. And we know now what became of our mistakes. And we love you and because of this we want to help you to have a good life for a long time. It´s difficult to accept that you have the right to make your own mistakes and to live life at your own way. Sometimes we feel so helpless. We see you and we know, that it is difficult for you and we feel with you. But we also know what could happen if you don´t manage your diabetes. And we don´t want this for you and for your life and for ourselves. And we don´t know how we can help you and because of that we say stupid things and try to forbid things for you. So I hope you forgive us stupid parents. What you can do is to tell your parents where you want help (my daughter always wanted it with her diabetesdiary) and what you want to manage by your own. Tell them that it might be that it´s not perfect but you want to learn. Learning includes making mistakes. [/QUOTE]
