[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2308165, member: 450212"] It's gotta be said that I probably didn't take any advice very well when I was that age either, I think I'd only recently been moved from two injections a day to MDI (ie 4 a day) and I wasn't happy about having to inject anyways, let alone more than before, I pretty much refused to do blood tests unless forced - and I think on at least a few times came out with 'well I'm not doing a test unless he does too' (whilst pointing at my non-diabetic brother). Its incredibly difficult to be the 'different' person when at school - and of course you get the 'why me', why do I have to do this when no-one else does, it hurts!. I always did my injections but I very very very rarely did blood tests unless forced - don't have any Hb1Ac's from back then but I'm pretty sure they would not be good numbers - I do have my results from when I was 16 onwards and umm, yes, um, my A level years were the worst I have on record (HbA1c: 88-92). Not sure I can offer advice but it is incredibly difficult to be a child/teen with T1, not sure how my parents ever managed, I must have made them panic and worry so much [/QUOTE]
