[QUOTE="RAPS_od, post: 2064470, member: 132477"] I think your support is critical for her - and for you. Most T1s I know go through a rebellious period called diabetic grief. It's similar to denial, though many in this period continue to acknowledge the condition and take their meds. But eating? For me, I was not having a diet. It took me far too long to come out of the grief, but I did finally adjust with the help of going to diabetic camp here in the US. Going through this grief, it's really important to have people on your side who don't regurgitate what doctors say. My parents tried to be on my side, but they didn't understand my disease or why I wouldn't control my glucose intake. Repeating what the doctor said didn't help me; I needed to understand my condition from an experienced T1 or T1 supporter. Have you mentioned this site to your daughter? That might be an avenue for her where she can open up about what's going on. [/QUOTE]
