[QUOTE="Fndwheelie, post: 2101156, member: 447317"] I understand this is worrying and frustrating for you but maybe if you look for a different angle, although he’s not managing it as well as he should, he is still taking some insulin on his terms. If he’s eating icing sugar and Nutella with a spoon being type 1 without insulin he’d be hospitalised seriously unwell. I know it’s not brilliant but if he’s doing the bear minimum that’s better than nothing at all. It sounds like, from the other type 1s here, wanting better control and health will come with a few more years under the belt. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.... as the saying goes, if as parents you make sure he has all the medication, supplies and equipment available to him, you can’t make him manage the diabetes.
