I've been there too! Maybe you could try sitting down with him and his family to have a serious talk about his health. Be sure not to be accusatory, but let him feel that you are all truly concerned and worried for him. It should help him see that he needs to snap out of it. And let him know that if he needs help, all of you will be there for him because he's not in it alone. It would probably be good to get his parents involved because from what you said, it's unclear whether they know about his glucose control. His parents would be a good point of contact between him and the nurse. Also be sure to not give him too much pressure into bringing all his readings into an acceptable range at this point in time. Take things one step at a time <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> It's great that you care so much for him, I wish I had that kind of support when I was first diagnosed. All the best!! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="❤️" title="Red heart    :heart:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2764.png" data-shortname=":heart:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="❤️" title="Red heart    :heart:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2764.png" data-shortname=":heart:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
