[QUOTE="azure, post: 1560670, member: 39639"] [USER=392423]@James321[/USER] If you look in our Parents section, you'll see you're not alone in your fear and frustration. A number of parents have had problems with teens not looking after themselves as they should. First thing - has your daughter's team got a psychologist that she could speak to about how she's dealing with her diagnosis? Secondly, have you cautiously asked her why she's eating the sweets? Eg does she just miss them? Is she doing it to spite the diabetes? Is she stressed? Does she feel you don't understand? Does she have siblings who don't have diabetes and feels life's been unfair to her? Get her to talk a little. Try not to say too much. Just listen and acknowledge her feelings. [/QUOTE]
