Hi. My 20-year-old college attending son checks his blood sugar very infrequently, even going so far as to not check for 4 days while he was a camp counselor this summer. At most, he checked 1 time per day even following a BG over 450. His uncle died at 43 of complications of diabetes. He was blind, had kidney failure with a kidney transplant that failed after 9 years. My son was in great fear of losing his eyesight when he was diagnosed at age 12 but seems now to not have any concerns about the health ramifications of poorly controlled blood sugar. His A1c has steadily been climbing. Since he eats cafeteria food, his ability to correctly guess the carb. count has been challenging. How can we be encouraging and supportive while we are very frustrated and angry at his seeming lack of interest in maintaining good health! We just want to nag and scream at him which we know will not work at all. He also suffers from depression and social anxiety for which he receives on-going treatment through counseling and medication. Thanks
