[QUOTE="Muneeb, post: 2101078, member: 491635"] Tbh, I was the same through my teenage years. Not that I didn't want to take any insulin, but looking after my diabetes wasn't my main priority. I would generally run high and not test my bloods, just to be 'normal'. But as I got a bit older and wiser, I knew I couldn't be 'normal' if I wasn't healthy. I realized the damage I was doing to my body, and generally once complications occur its difficult to get rid of them, so I wanted to minimize this in the first place. Now I took ownership of my own health, I got into fitness, nutrition etc and I have never felt better, my glucose levels are great, that goes hand in hand with me enjoying fitness and eating right. It really is a matter of education, but nobody can help someone unless they are willing to help themselves. As harsh as it sounds, you can't always be there to look out for him, he needs to be responsible for his own health. [/QUOTE]
