[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 125853, member: 13451"] Hi, I haven't encountered your problems as my daughter is still young (8). But I can offer my advice about what I'd do and I'm not sure if it would work or be suitable, it's just my suggestion. If she's not testing at school I'd make arrangements to visit the school and discuss the problem with them. Contact the SENCO at your daughter's school and explain the problem that she's not testing and have a teacher or first aider assigned to make sure that she does her test. On a Friday ask that the test meter be returned home over the weekend so that you can read the week's results. Ask that any high or low readings outside a specified range be reported to you by telephone at work so that you instantly know when her reading has been less than ideal. Talk to your daughter and discuss what arrangements you have been put in place and explain why you have done this (because she is failing to test by herself and this could be damaging to her health). Reassure her that you have her best interests at heart and you want to help her. Allow her to go on the school trip but speak with the school and make arrangements for an adult to watch over her with regard to her testing and injecting whilst on the trip. In my honest opinion, 10 is a young age to take on all this responsibility. As an adult taking care of my daughter's diabetes I find it draining and at times hard work. I'm sure your daughter, at her tender age, must also feel this way sometimes. If she's failing to take responsibility it might be that she's finding it a burden and who can blame her. Have a teacher there to help her through and I'm sure in time she will become more responsible. I don't think it would be fair to punish her by not allowing the school trip. [/QUOTE]
