[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 520486"] I cant imagine a kid with diabetes being non compliant. Mind boggling. I know 4 kids with it-2 of whom are close friends' sons. I've never known any of the 4 to be non compliant with eating, testing & medicating. My bff's son got an insulin pump at age 10 or so which made things very easy. My other friend's son plays sports ( b-ball & lacrosse), so he couldn't get a pump. Now it's purely anecdotal & of course I don't have a clear window into their lives. .. Especially the 2 whom are acquaintances... But -IME- children's hospitals have very intensive & ongoing support (classes, groups , erc) for kids & their families. Also, I believe all 4 of the kids experienced medical crisis requiring hospitalization at one point; especially as they went thru puberty. I am guessing (truly guessing) that the trauma of the crisis was enough to make them WANT to be compliant - especially at that impressionable age? My kid doesn't see the link btwn his life issues & his lifestyle. A diabetic lives out the need to manage their diabetes well so they can live a normal life... Just for conversations sake [/QUOTE]
