As a parent of a 'child' aged 22 and recently being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and using insulin I have many unanswered questions and would like the help of other diabetics please. Is it ok to go out and drink alcohol, stay out all night and not test your sugar levels for more than 12 hours
 
Presumably you are a rational thinking human being. What do you think the answer to your question is? :twisted:
No seriously, you know in your heart the answer and I guess you are trying to make a point to your 'child' but this is something they have to come to terms with. All you can do is support and encourage them to do the right things, they really have to find their own way of dealing, even if that means that they get it wrong at the beginning. There are lots of stories on here of people who have fallen off the wagon big time but eventually come to terms with their illness. Good luck and try not to worry too much.
 
Thankyou and yes I am a rational thinking human being and yes you are right I did know the answer I just wanted confirmation I was right as I have never had any dealings with Diabetes until now
