My 12 year old son was diagnosed T1 two months ago. He has a school residential in June 2013. At the moment I am doing everything for him except injecting and bg testing. How much control should a 12 year old have over everything? He wants to go on the trip, and the school and his nurse said he should, but I'm not sure he is ready. I have to remind him to snack if he needs and remember his kit wherever he goes. At the moment he's not really feeling hypo symptoms so I have to remind him to test. What to do? Am I worrying too much, I feel I need to be with him all the time. Before diagnosis he was a very capable and clever child, still is of course, but not with the T1.
