Hi, just wondered if anyone could help. I posted earlier about my daughter, who has ASD and was diagnosed with Type 1 in March last year. I'm just having real problems with my daughter's behaviour at the moment and it's making the control of her blood sugar levels almost impossible. I'm at my wits end really. We have an appointment at the diabetic clinic next week and I'm dreading it, and worried that we are going to get into some kind of trouble over her high blood sugar levels. Her levels have been well managed in the past, but over the last three months my daughter's hormone levels appear to have gone up considerably and we can't do anything with her at home. At school, it's a different matter altogether. Honestly, sometimes when I approach the school for support, it's like were talking about a different person. Her behaviour is totally different at school, compared to at home. We have been having issues at injection time, resulting with my daughter throwing the glucose meter across the room. I will need to take 4 different meters with me to the appointment as I've had to replace the meters that don't work properly - and mix up the dates and times of the blood sugar readings. She won't listen to me when I try to explain that she can't have as much chocolate, she just swears at me. I asked the school for support re: the glucose meter throwing incidents, and it seems to have done the trick(for the time being). We've also got a reward system, for her to try healthy food at home (although so far it's not working). I can't believe she actually eats school dinners, but at home she won't entertain anything different. I'm supposed to be meeting the dietician to discuss carb counting when I take her to the clinic. I'm just wondering how I'm going to do it (realistically).
