[QUOTE="slip, post: 2101329, member: 182669"] Have you looked up 'diabetes burn out' ? Might be worth it, if anything connected to that might help. On the scare tactic front, have you had a man to man talk about what he's doing to his 'manhood', as a young lad I'm sure he doesn't want to loose the ability to have a normal sex life? (this might hit home more than loosing a foot or his eyesight) The other thing with diabetes is bad control can lead to psychological issues - depression which leads to bad control......like the diabetes control roller coaster once it's started it's difficult to get off. His head probably isn't on straight at the mo - and it'll only get worse, he needs counselling. I think you have to tread very carefully though - I wish you and your son strength to get through this.
