I am not diabetic but my daughter(16 yrs old ) was diagnosed as type 1 in may this year just before her gcse's.
She was very good about it at first and did very well in her exams, but now she just doesn't seem to give a **** missing jabs not even knowing what her numbers are and generally being a real pain.
The mood swings are very severe and she's up three or four times a night for a drink or the toilet.
What ever we say she just rips our heads off wen we ask her about her jabs /numbers,I know it's probably a 16 year old girl thing and just wondered if it was common . The GP nor consultant can make any headway with her and neither are we.
Just wondered if you can point me in the right direction via links etc for some background or advice.
Thanks for any help.
