[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 757699, member: 30007"] Speaking as a former teenage diabetic (I was diagnosed at 13) I went through eating the "naughty" foods phase too. I'd grab chocolate where I could (from the tuck shop at school) and take insulin to cover it. I'd also make up my diary (no memory meters in those days, all done in the diary) and we'd go to the hospital and I'd dread getting the Hba1C done and yet it would turn out okay (typically in the 7%-7.5%, which isn't where I strive for now, but as a teenager with no internet and no guidance other than what the hospital gave, was considered to be absolutely fine). If he is managing his insulin and carbs and the Hba1C tests are coming back okay, then, while it is not ideal that he isn't eating to plan, it's certainly not the end of the world. [/QUOTE]
