Hi @Kinny79 , and welcome to the forum.any advice would be much appreciated x
This as been ongoing fir months. Her diabetic specialist nurse and consultant have admitted her twice for this, but we just end up back at square one. She says I don't understand how it feel and she just wants it to go away.
Hi there I'm new to this group so its gonna be a bit of a long winded post.
So I have 14 year old daughter who was diagnosed T1 2 years ago. I noticed she was losing weight rapid, extreme thirst, urinating a lot and very sleepy. She was also complaining of a sore throat, so I too her to the gp who ignored all her symptoms and diagnosed her with tonsillitis. He also said the reason for her thirst was due to the sore throat and weight loss due to puberty
So afterwards I still wasn't happy and took it upon myself and took her A&E where the triage nurse pricked her finger and rushed her through to resus, where a doctor told me she has diabetes and is in DKA. Thank god I brought her in as she was only hours away of a diabetic coma. So moving on after diagnosis and learning how to treat the condition, we were allowed home. I was so proud of my daughter she really took it on the chin such a brave girl doing her Bg and insulin without fail. Fast forward 18 months, now everyday is a battle, she continuously screams at me anytime I prompt her about blood glucose testing or doing her insulin. She goes days without taking her tresiba and tells me point blank she's not doing her fiasp. This as been ongoing fir months. Her diabetic specialist nurse and consultant have admitted her twice for this, but we just end up back at square one. She says I don't understand how it feel and she just wants it to go away. I feel so sorry for her and I'm absolutely worried sick thats she's going to make her self very poorly very soon. I'm really at my wits end single mum her dad is useless so its just me. If I mention anything to do with her diabetes she flips out. Her Bg is continously high and she has been so lucky not to get any ketone. I've tried to explain ots only a matter of time if she keros going on like this, but honestly I don't know what else to do .... any advice would be much appreciated x
Hi Kinny I am a T2 so can’t offer much practical help but I wondered if your daughter has a best friend in her friendship group that could get through to her and support her. If you were to confide your worries to that girl’s mum she might be able to persuade her child to be super supportive and interested in her diabetes. At that age we were all more inclined to listen to our friends than our parents. Her friends if they knew how risky this is would not want anything bad to happen to her. Just a thought and sending you both lots of hugs and best wishes.Hi there I'm new to this group so its gonna be a bit of a long winded post.
