i used to be like this when the same age. i didn't even bother injecting when i ate. had no thought as to how many carbs were in anything. just did what all my mates did and ignored the diabetes. now i have some background retinopathy and hard to control blood sugars.
i can't really remeber what kicked me into taking it seriously (it might be an age thing) but when i did i was also given an Accu Chek Expert meter, which allows you to input carbs and helps work out your dose of insulin.
this has made it a LOT easier to comprehend.
i still find it hard to control but it doesn't get ignored anymore.
i hope your daughter will be able to tackle it head on soon
