[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1434562, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=392423]@James321[/USER] welcome to the forum, I have to admit you sound like an amazing dad, so well done for all that you do. I would second the advice about her using the freestyle Libre, if you can afford to, it's an incredibly useful piece of kit and may open her eyes to become more of an 'expert' in managing her condition. It does sound she's in denial and to be fair I think many type 1's experience this, it's an over whelming, consuming condition, if you let it be this way. Sadly the NHS doesnt seem to be very well equipped in psychologically supporting those who are newly diagnosed or who are struggling, in some respects that's why support forums are so important as its somewhere safe to speak to others so if she could open up and talk to others that would be help her a lot. See if she would consider joining up ? [/QUOTE]
