[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 45798, member: 2964"] Hi ZoesMum, I really feel for you 'cause it's hard enough dealing with diabetes as an adult but to have to deal with it as a parent of a diabetic child must be 10 times harder. I don't really know what advice to give you other than to get in touch with her medical team again. If her readings are in the twenties with ketones, that sounds like your daughter needs help ASAP. Don't be fobbed off by the docs. You are not being an over-anxious mother,you are being a caring one and there is a big difference. I expect many teenagers struggle to cope with diabetes. Girls having raging hormones to deal with, along with feeling "different" at an age when they want to just "fit in", makes diabetes just an added hassle. It sounds as though you are doing everything a caring mum can do but please insist on getting the medical help I feel she needs. I think it would also be really useful if there are any other teenage members reading to chat with your daughter, so that she can understand she is not the only youngster trying to cope with the pain in the bum that is known as diabetes. All the best, chocoholic. [/QUOTE]
