[QUOTE="monkey1997, post: 1072110, member: 217485"] I was diagnosed around 6 months ago and being a teenager myself i can understand him being moody or withdrawn as it is such a big change and very hard to deal with , it probably upsets him seeing all of his friends/family being able to eat what they want without worrying about insulin and carbohydrate counting , and the injections are not the most pleasant , especially at such a young age. i myself went through a very similar thing and refused to do my insulin or check my blood sugar hoping if i forgot about it that it would go away , i found what helped me most was talking to other diabetics of a similar age , it helps you view it is being more normal and you can see how other people are coping and i think that helps a lot. try not to push him too hard as he is probably dealing with a lot with it already but maybe try and encourage him a bit more and help him be more positive towards it [/QUOTE]
