Hello,
I am a grandmother of a 11 year old boy with type 1, he is now into his 4th year he is very responsible and very smart he does his own shots, calibration, counts for carbs, everything on his own, His parents are very supportive and are doing amazing job raising him with his diabetes, with that being said ,my grandson knows how to cheat and give himself corrections, so the other night his numbers spiked and was so scary! but because he is so smart he feels he can make corrections fix it till next cheating. The parents now are using discipline to punish him because they have done all the forgiving the correcting understanding and everyone is all in the fed up stage, the parents will never give up that is just there mental state at this time. I don't agree with the discipline to take things away from him that he likes to do is an answer. I am not the parent so I cant make that choice. Can anyone out there please help me on how I can suggest what to do or where is there a support group to take my family so we can all go for advise? please help. Thank you
