Thank you for sticking by him. 1) One ploy might be to point out to him that [I]unless he starts taking responsibility for his diabetes that he will not be granted (or retain) a driver's license.[/I] 2) poor control of his diabetes [I]will and can affect his future sex life.[/I] 3) google [I]'famous type 1 diabetics, sportspersons etc'[/I] for him to see, also many TIDs* go canoeing, cycling etc 4) see whether there are[B] [/B][I]any teenage diabetes camps in your area,[/I] Experience from attending camps are a great way for showing people they are not alone in having difficulties and they can learn better ways to cope with their condition 5) not only are high sugar levels bad for health (particularly long term) but [I]low blood sugars (hypos)**can be devastating within minutes and debilitating for hours afterwards. [/I] 6)[I] Getting and keeping future employment, doing training etc [/I]would all be affected by poor control. * TIDs = Type 1 Diabetics ** hypoglycaemia means low sugar in the blood Best of luck. [I]Please carry jelly beans with you so that a hypo can be treated. And please read the section on this website about hypoglycaemia and how to recognise and treat them[/I] [/QUOTE]
