I do not have diabetes
And once again I come to this dialogue asking for advice :cat:

How do you deal with hyper induced anger? When your child, who is usually OK and 'gets' the treatments and why she needs to do this, is hyper and angry and yelling and just does not want to see a needle much less use one.
We get through it, we manage it, but it would be good to hear other peoples approaches.

(And once we talk about that, can someone tell me how you manage to not lock yourself in a dark room and cry 'cause your child has to face this and you cannot make it go away?)
:(

Half the time, I never know if it's anger at the diabetes or just anger in general because of hormones and the age that my girl is. Girl's are horrid anyway!! :D

All I can suggest is keep talking to her. Reassure her, comfort her and just carry on being the fab mum that you are. This too shall pass. Then the teenage years kick in. Oh the joys!! xx

Love that - "Then the teenage years kick in." Thanks @mahola. Made me smile.

I think you're right and it is all of those and also is part of going cray-cray when her BG goes over 13.

Yes, mine are 18 (just finishing A Level exams) and 13 - they are both absolutely revolting!! :rolleyes: I cannot image what it must like to have to deal with diabetes as well. You have my sympathy. x
 
My daughter has always been 'awkward' and I often think how easy my boys were compared to her. Throw into the mix hormones and diabetes and I start praying for bed time sooner and sooner every night lol.

One minute she's questioning everything I say to her, shouting the house down and refusing to have her bloods checked, the next she's hung round my neck sobbing not wanting to leave my side. I actually asked her once if she was just trying to mess with my head!!

Hormonal, diabetic girls are a nightmare!

I'm 18 and i am 100% sure diabetes affects your moods. My mood change more than someone with bipolar lol. I always get made to check my bloods because when theyre too high or low i either go very angry and snappy or start to cry for no reason. Hormones on top just make things worse! Cried over burning toast the other day!!
