- I do not have diabetes
Hi all,
I am at my wit’s end here. My son is (age 14) and was diagnosed 18months ago. Initially he was great and managed well. Recently though he has stopped taking care of himself and just takes random amounts of insulin- usually after he has gone high. He has gained a lot of weight through comfort eating but is blaming insulin. He is point blank refusing to take Tresiba now though still taking some FIASP. We checked his pens and discovered today he has no Tresiba in 3 days! Has anyone any experience of this? We are getting him counselling but in the meantime what do I do? He is usually rational but at the minute he is just so illogical regarding diabetes! So worried about him. Needless to say levels are awful.
