[QUOTE="Natalie1974, post: 947124, member: 134746"] I guess this is something that affects all parents at some point regardless of whether they are diabetic or not...I know I was very wary when my (non diabetic) daughter started doing this kind of thing...but I think as [USER=11028]@noblehead[/USER] has said...if he is sensible and has a good understanding of carb counting and hypo's...then why not. To not allow him to be a normal teen and go out with his friends will only build resentment in the long run. Presumably he has a mobile so could call you if he needed to...but for added peace of mind perhaps you could also ask him if he is happy for you to give your number to his friends...just in case. He'll probably laugh at you but will hopefully realise that it's just because your an overprotective mother and you love him. Do lockdowns happens regularly in your area? I've not heard of this before...if you ensure he has all his kit and some fast acting glucose on him I'm sure he'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
