My daughter (16) was diagnosed a Type 1 Diabetic, 4 years ago. She is (long story short) not doing the right things, no matter how constantly we are on her. Unfortunately, her last A1C was 12.2, and the Dr. is saying it's time for her to WAKE UP (step up to the plate, and take care of herself) or they will put her into the hospital as an "inpatient" for I don't know how long, until she starts managing this disease correctly. We try constantly to get through to her. Obviously, we are pulling out all the stops now, and planning to begin home schooling, and keeping her home 24/7 to monitor everything she does. If you've "been there" (and started off not doing the right things) at what point did YOU wake up??? Is there hope that she's going to get a grip on the damage she's doing to her body??? We're a wreck. I'd love your thoughts. Thanks!
