introduction

[dot]

Just a quick note to introduce myself. I have been eyeing this forum for the lat couple of months - my 11 year old son was diagnosed as type I in late February this year. I am looking forward to being able to pick the brains of other mums as to how to get stroppy teenagers to look after themselves properly!

Welcome to the forums.

I have a 12-year-old, but it is me who is the diabetic, not him. He can, however, be quite stroppy :roll:

My current aim in his acquiring the skills for daily living is to get him to flush the toilet after using it. I can hear he has just done that, so something must be working!

Hi dot
I'm the T2 diabetic here, but As a grandmother, I've survived one generation of stroppy teenage and have the next to look forward to.
Look on posts by Katherine. She's a GP who has brought her diabetic son through this.
