[QUOTE="Debloubed, post: 123101, member: 23038"] Feel for you and your son. Being a teenager is hard enough! I am 5 days in to my new pump and it has taken over my life, I can't imagine having it and not testing or couting carbs as how would you know how to use it? But then like you say, he just doesn't use it properly.............what about scare tactics? There are some pretty desperate stories on this forum from people who have seen up close and personal what bad control of your BG's can do to a person........I wonder how he would feel if he read some of them? or perhaps that would do more harm than good.........as others have said, chatting to others in a similar situation may help, Diabetes can be very lonely, particularly type 1 as there isn't much awareness out there......good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
