[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 268399, member: 43498"] I feel for you. Others will be along soon too, but my initial thoughts are: 1. She may have clinical hypo unawareness (or not) 2. Others should be made aware, particularly the college, which has a duty of care... an agreed individual management plan would probably include a BG test prior to leaving for the day. Yes she is 17 but she is not 18, so there are still some rights and responsibilities that you and the college have. You're allowed to ask her to work with you on this. 3. You can get help with letting go (setting healthy boundaries) from a support group or counsellor. This isn't just a diabetes issue - parents and teenagers often need extra support to help cope with challenging circumstances. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Even once she turns 18, you still have the right to set healthy boundaries and if she is living in your home then she has to live by your rules. You can include a rule that people communicate and co-operate to solve important problems. In practice this might mean she tells you if she needs help, for example. [/QUOTE]
