Yes shes been brilliant, shes doing her own finger pricks, she wants to do the injections but is all thumbs at them moment a has stabbed me with the pen a few times, but we are ust to needles as her mum has had to do daily injections for blood clots in the past.
she does keep saying she wishes she had type 2 because she can get better and not sure how to answer that
She sounds as though she's doing brilliantly, it's good to get them to manage all aspects of their care when they are ready as it will help them grow and develop with the condition and not lean on others to support them. Unfortunately type 2 is also difficult to live with and even when in remission it can still come back so t2 isn't an easy ride either, I tend to view my condition as manageable and I make it fit into my life, yes there are far worse things to have but learning to live with it so it doesn't consume my life is important. I still ski, ride a road bike, run 3 times a week between 5-10km, swim, dance, eat cake, it's not a case of adapting to t1 it's adapting t1 to fit into your life.
We are lucky that with technology as it is today we can do this, there's lots of advice support around too and lots of people willing to help too
