Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2596783" data-attributes="member: 372717">Does your son have a libre or dexcom so you can monitor his levels?Look, my teens were pre glucometer and though I never skipped an injection I ate far too many carbs for my insulin and felt very very ill on occasion (luckily I got away with it, still have working eyes, limbs and kidneys now).An obvious question is whether he is stressed out about the upcoming exams?Diabulimia is a thing for many teenage T1s. hopefully not for your son.All I can say is that being a teenager is hard. Things will probably be easier when he is older.I'm not familiar with the current availability of help via the NHS but just wanted to give you some moral support from someone who has survived appalling teenage T1 control.Edited to add : I'm not saying that you shouldn't be concerned about the current situation. Please get all the help you can.</blockquote>
