[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 1905795, member: 472744"] 60 years is very impressive. I've had type 1 diabetes for 42 years, not always brilliantly controlled, but I do have a very strong survival instinct, I think I almost feel as if having put all that effort into staying alive for so long, I'm carrying on as long as I possibly can. I see it as me and my body working together against it. However some other people with T1D seem to see it in a different way, and this can appear as quite self destructive behaviour. But the reasons probably vary massively for each individual. Your brother may benefit from counselling, as a way, maybe, to look a little deeper into why he doesn't seem to want to take care of himself. I don't know much about psychology, but this could be a sort of deep rooted issue, especially as he sees people trying to help as interfering in his life. That's all I can think of really, but he'd have to want to go [/QUOTE]
