My Son doesnt want to accept

nice shout @Jaylee -- times are so different now as to then because of the changes to medications and the internet
Kids are so much more savvy

I would love to think so Himtoo. But at that age? (without appearing derogatory.) it feel t's still all "black & white" on the emotional response..
I was lucky in some respect regarding my teens. I found non D outsiders that put my life in perspective.. (Lol. Everyone has "hang ups".) I made mistakes. But if it's any consolation to you @sharon3570 i'm still around (as a 47 year old.) with no "complications" to keep an eye on my 84 year old mother... She now keeps me & my wife busy.

I think there is a ton of good advice here. I also think he needs to meet some other kids with diabetes. Can you find a summer camp for him or something? I wouldn't ask him. I'd just take him there one day and let him get on with it.

I also wouldn't terrorize him into compliance. It didn't work for me. It doesn't work for me.

You should ring up your diabetes doctor/consultant and tell them you want the pump asap. They told you lies because my doctor suggested it to me when I was very bad, it's for people that font have much control over their diabetes. The only con about it is there is a bit of adjusting for a small while at the start but once he gets going they turn to pros also he can get a sensor on, it's like a little button, with a filament inserted under the skin on the stomach and it collects data over the course of a few days. I got mine on yesterday ( Friday ) and I'm getting it off Monday morning, this helps the doctors to monitor data on the computer and readings etc.. it helps them to help you and I find it really helpful as it can control my high readings
