[QUOTE="melaskew, post: 953774, member: 87158"] My daughter was the same but hers was linked to bulemia as well due to the insulin making her gain weight. She did however take her long acting insulin but when her hair started falling out in clumps and her nails and skin bore the evidence too it began to scare her. Does her diabetic team have a psychologist/ psychiatrist on team? My daughter responded well to talking to someone she was very hostile to begin with and it has been a long and very rocky road. I also made her read harrowing accounts of young people who have died from doing this and the lasting damage that this has caused. It has only really been the last 6 months that she has come onboard when she had to deal with her younger brother having a seizure due to a low blood sugar that she has begunlooking after herself and she has realised what she has put us through ( we are coming up to 7 years since diagnosis). I would like to say this will be a quick and easy fix but she needs to get there herself before you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I also tried pitching one as a role model to the other but she couldn't care less. Good luck [/QUOTE]
