[QUOTE="imalittlefishy, post: 363711, member: 32174"] Probably a combination of all of the above! I was diagnosed at 11, now 21, and yes those early teenage years were difficult to say the least. Trying to find the line between being supportive and not being "interfering" is difficult and something I clashed with my mum about a lot. One thing I would say is try not to blame it all on the diabetes, the thing that could wind me up more than anything (and still can occasionally!) was if I was in a mood and my mum automatically assumed it was because my blood sugars were high or low. Sometimes she was right, but often I was just a teenage girl doing what teenage girls do best! I don't have much advice, but remember that this will pass, and one day she will turn around and be grateful to you for being there throughout it all. [/QUOTE]
