[QUOTE="ert, post: 2101224, member: 504712"] I'm really sorry, you're having a tough time as a family. Could you contact your diabetes team and ask about a single injection that they have for people not coping with the number of type 1 insulin injections, my diabetes nurse told me about it in my first appointment, as she didn't think I was coping well. Also, (apologies as this is a rather grim suggestion), but could you get your son to meet someone who has experienced complications? My colleague's friend from school rebelled in the same way and was blind by the time she was 23. This has had a major impact on me, as I initially refused to go on insulin and stayed off insulin for two years after a type 1 diagnosis although I was told to start it immediately. It was enough to terrify me into taking insulin. [/QUOTE]
