[QUOTE="Shiba Park, post: 1663600, member: 329563"] As a T1D I can fully understand your grandsons desire for independence - and from your brief description he sounds like a very capable lad. But as a parent I can understand the parents anxiety as insulin is lethal... Even knowing what it's like first hand, I really don't know if I could give my 11 year old son control as it's a really big step. Could you suggest that, as he's getting older, it's time to start allowing your grandson to 'start learning' these skills under parental supervision? As parental confidence grows, it could be suggested that he should have the odd unplanned teenage treat with his friends... when he demonstrates he can do this safely then hopefully further freedom will be forthcoming?
