[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2388983, member: 503751"] Hi, just a thought - can you contact his diabetes team at all? Difficult age as not under paediatric diabetes team so perhaps they wouldn't talk to parents as he is over 18, but I know my clinic do many different support sessions / counselling etc depending on need, for example. The referral time via the GP might be longer so it might be worth seeing if his diabetes clinic can offer anything, or even just advice for how you can help. Agree that making it unequivocally clear you're there when needed is helpful, trying not to judge and thankful of any steps in the right direction. I've struggled at times with my parents not understanding the reality of life with diabetes. They have obviously always wanted the best for me, but not always managed to portray that in non-judgemental ways. I never think they mean to judge, but it has made me less open to talking to them when things haven't been 'textbook perfect' in the past. [/QUOTE]
