As many other people have said, he is not your responsibility, he needs to get a grip and start taking responsibility for himself.I used to hate testing my blood sugar, and the lack of doing so (and therefore largely guessing insulin amounts) landed me in hospital with a DKA. In an ideal world, it wouldn't have taken something like that for me to start taking my treatment more seriously, but it was the wake up call I needed.He shouldn't be injecting after eating (before) and he should test before every meal - as many others have pointed out. It sounds like he could be a good candidate for a CGM if he's been in hospital once a year since he was diagnosed as a child (way, way too often!). If he doesn't like having to prick his finger, than that will reduce the amount of that that's needed. It'll also give him greater insight into what his sugars are doing throughout the day.Lastly, the less carbs he eats, the less insulin he needs. The less insulin he injects, the less chance of having a hypo. Check out Dr Bernstein. Boshing down a couple of McMuffin's isn't the best start for anyone, let alone a T1 diabetic. A treat not a weekly thing perhaps?!Edited by a moderator</blockquote>
