[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1801692, member: 216415"] I am replying now as a parent with 2 non-diabetic daughters in their thirties. It is very difficult when your children grow up not to try to manage everything for them as you used to. I tend to worry and try to help when they don't need my help with everyday things like making sure they have travel insurance and getting their cars serviced, so if they were diabetic I would probably be worse. It must be very annoying for you but it is not confined to diabetes, just a standard problem with parents who care about their children. I have an agreement now with my daughters that I won't interfere unless they actually ask for help, which seems to work. [/QUOTE]
