[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 135008, member: 22966"] Don't really know anything useful about T1 and insulin but as a mum and granny I know a bit about boys and teenagers! :roll: :shock: We pretty soon learnt that automatically anything we, as mere parents, proposed the diametrically opposed position was always taken. If we ever wanted to push an idea or a direction we had very good friends who took it on and very tactfully and confidentially chatted things through with whichever 'child' needed a prod. We learnt to keep well out of it even to the extent of being devil's advocate and putting the opposing view so that at least it meant that all was considered. :roll: Your biggest problem is that you are a nurse and are frightened for your son but you can't 'gift' him your experience or knowledge unless he is willing which he clearly is not. :( Do as the consultant asks so that he can do his job. :) [/QUOTE]
