She’s got retinopathy already but it’s like water off a ducks back. I think I could wave an amputated foot at her and still get no reaction! Very frustrating but I promised myself I will stop nagging :)

Heehee, I can but try :)

Aww, we are a family of dog lovers and have a lovely little furry girl who we all adore, maybe that story will resonate, poor Marjorie, she must have have no clue what was going on an what her legacy was...

Ordered on eBay! Thank-you. I did read an article about how they experimented on dogs and discovered insulin, very interesting. Sounds like an interesting read, we don’t know how lucky we are in so many respects.

Someone else recommended the Libre, she did a trial and it was really good and she actually did use it so I am going to get on with that and get some ordered and just suck up the cost. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement, I do feel a bit more confident having read all the advice that we can both do this

Thanks PenguinMum for your response, she lets very few people know that she’s diabetic and is very reluctant to talk, she did meet a couple of other young people at college with diabetes which I was really pleased about but then dropped out of her course in favour of an apprenticeship. It’s...

Thanks jlarsson for taking the time to respond so honestly, it sounds like you’ve had a rough time and hope the steps you took are working better for you. I get that I get on her nerves most of the time, it’s hard not to give the little reminders once she’s finished eating or when she gets up in...

Hiya Scott, thank-you for taking the time to reply. She did trial the libre and it was brilliant I have to admit, I liked the up and down arrows so you knew which direction the bloods were going. I recently asked at our clinic and had a firm NO we are not funding that although they said someone...

Hi ickihun, thanks so much for you response. I think I need to work on the supporting from a distance bit. my partner and myself do eat healthily and don’t keep crisps biscuits etc etc in the house, if I take her shopping she fills the trolly up with **** some of which I let go but I think there...

Hiya Kk123. Thanks for taking the time to respond. The poor mental health is underpinning all of her self destructive behaviour at the moment. We did go to the gp who signposted her to the well-being service but she didn’t actually know what she wanted from the service so disengaged. She’s not...

Thanks for taking the time to respond Lindijanice. You are quite right she resents any input from me from even gentle reminders about testing her blood sugars to giving her insulin, it’s often met with anger and invokes an abusive response. She rejects most sorts of contact with others with...

Thanks for your response Mike D. I have a great psychotherapist but she won’t engage with her, and yes you are right in saying that she doesn’t value herself or others. Kind regards.

Hi juicyj. Thanks for taking the time to respond. She is depressed and sometimes suicidal, she says that she’s taking the ‘scenic’ route. She met a couple of nice folks that she found it easy to talk to at her dafne course so I could suggest that she carries on with those, she also had a lovely...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of helping someone in denial of T1? 19 yo daughter has been diagnosed 8 years and her management is getting worse all the time, her diet consists of sweets, chocolate, ice cream, custard and most types of junk food, home dinners are normally left on...
