[QUOTE="BleuEyes45, post: 1609006, member: 449480"] I hate to sound harsh or cold but you and your son need a wake up call and some education time. Your son is one step from Cardiac problems with the high cholesterol and his lifestyle. No Diabetic should have a “Chocolate Habit” of ANY kind first and foremost. I spent years counseling young Type 1 Diabetic’s ages 13 to 21 about the trials, pitfalls and dangers of being a Diabetic in denial and in the wrong path with their health. I myself have been TD1 since I was 8 years old and just had my 37th year Diabetic Anniversary. Your son’s drinking and his Diabetes definitely played the lead roles in his actions the night he was arrested. Drinking and Diabetes just don’t mix when done frivolously and without thought and planning. When I was younger I would set parameters for drinking. This always began with a two drink maximum and blood sugar testing before, during, and after each drink regardless of where I was or what was going on. Your son needs to get over it! Get over his denial, get over his resentment, get over his childish behavior. The fact is he’s a Diabetic and the only thing that is going to change that is death and unless he WANTS to die he needs to get real about his healthcare and well being plain and simple. You as his mother and the one who should love him the most needs to toughen up and stand firm on his compliance with the RIGHT life as a Diabetic. [/QUOTE]
