Dealing with my T1D1 13 yr old today. So exhausted from trying and nothing changing. I'm stepping away.
Oh, you have my sympathy. People that age are impossible at the best of times let aloone with a condition that requires discipline and compliance.
Good for you to get some distance from the chaos. He/she needs to grab a hold of that self preservation idea .
To his/her and your benefit, you should realize that the disease is not as acute and fast to respond to ail missteps as we are told.
Also, everybody's disbetes is a little different. But 13 is a terrible time in life to have to deal with the costant BG checking ans insulin injections and cravings aand such. I wish there was a mentoring program for the various age groups where teen can hear the information from people other than their parents o doctors.
