[QUOTE="Levy, post: 197932, member: 31447"] Hi Vickie, When was your son diagnosed? Many teens (including me years ago) go through a 'rebellious' phase where they don't really want to accept that they're diabetic. I used to be exactly like this when I was about 16; I have never been on Novomix but I was on Novorapid and Lantus, but I used to forget (or not bother) to take my insulin a lot then correct highs later. Not always because I didn't want to do it but because it was in the back of my mind for some reason (loads of think about when you are a teenager lol!). Anyway, if he is on Novomix and he is making it a habit not to take them at the set times then, like Ebony mentioned, maybe it's not the right regime for him anymore? It sounds to me like he wants a bit more freedom (he likes sleeping in and going out etc.) A basal/bolus regime will give him a lot more freedom with what and when he eats, if he wants to go out or sleep in etc. Perhaps that's something you could discuss with him?
