[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2325628, member: 420515"] Be careful how you approach this please. If at age 25 my dad and stepmum had sat me down for a talk, told me they were worried about my diabetes, and thought I needed to test more often and ask for extra help? I'd have smiled and nodded and gone away and quit testing altogether, and randomly guessed at insulin doses, that's IF I injected at all. Hopefully you don't have the rocky relationship we had, but even so... Diabetes can do seriously weird things to your mental health as well as your physical health. At some level your stepson knows he is intentionally damaging himself. Even if he's covering it up with 'It won't happen to me, see, I'm fine' the doctors will have told him what his blood glucose is doing to him. It's nice that you care enough to ask. Thank you from the really mixed-up 25yr old I was, and, probably, eventually, thanks from your stepson will come your way. [/QUOTE]
