[QUOTE="mumofteendotter, post: 123928, member: 25261"] Hi My daughter (14 year old Type 1 since 2000, last HBA1C 13+) doesn't talk to any of the kids with diabetes at her school. She doesn't test there, or eat snacks or lunches. I guess she is in some sort of denial. A few years ago she went on a diabetic camp. I had to beg her to go and she said she hated it because of all the supervision - she wanted to escape from diabetes. I remember crying my eyes out the first Christmas after diagnosis because I realised we would never get a day off from diabetes. We all deal with it in different ways - I guess she is ignoring it and pretending she is 'normal'. I have a good friend who suffers huge amounts of pain and her way of dealing with it is to laugh instead of cry. I think she does this to protect her kids from seeing how much pain she is in. It isn't easy being diabetic or a teenager - or being a parent Good luck [/QUOTE]
