My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed at age 8. Have a look at the glucometer now and again even if they seem to be doing ok and have a decent A1C...things are not always how they seem!It is a tough time in life for both the teens and parents of a diabetic child.NJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055591941689609478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-81368780881514987142016-01-27T13:28:18.403-08:002016-01-27T13:28:18.403-08:00I am new to this whole game.

It is so hard not to micromanage them when you know the consequences that can occur if they let things slip. So far he is doing really well taking care of himself but my mind does race in bed at night wondering if he will be alright. <br />Reading these posts is reassuring.

And though the older of the two is no longer a teenager, he acts like one in every way. I can't be the hover mother, I work full time. I wouldn't be as concerned if A1c's were better (currently high 9s to mid 12s). Any suggestions? Or can you tell me about your routines and maybe I can implement some simple steps to help us all remember? I swear the squirrels have run amok here and stolen my brain with theirs... HELP!! Seriously... help!

College in four years... Freaking. Me. Out. I can't worry about it now. One day at a time.

I've actually jyst ageeed to stop trying to manage him...he's on his own (within reason of course) he's in charge of checking his bag, etc. He's had good a1c's too and I swear it's luck! As long as he keeps it under 8, I'll leave it to him...makes it easier on both of us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490857770661944717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-70081460612274786922016-01-21T09:21:16.758-08:002016-01-21T09:21:16.758-08:00Two teens (one freshman in college).
