    Query re teenager pls

    Hi all, been away for a while. My son was diagnosed a year ago, now aged 14. He is becoming very withdrawn and moody and I am trying hard to give him space and not remind him or check up on his sugars and stuff as it clearly annoys him. I am worried though - today he refused to eat, check...

Had a...

    thank you everyone. He has come round now but still groggy and VERY grumpy. Won't drink or eat anything - refusing and acting really angry. Done another check and gone up to just under 5 so backing off for now till he calms down. This is extremely out of character for him - normally very...
