My son, 17 years old, has had Type 1 diabetes since age 11. He has always kept his A1C count between 6.5 and 7.8. Now however he is having readings in the 11 and 12’s. Our doctor suggested that he may not be taking all of his insulin. Is this common for diabetics to get this way?

My son is 8 1/2. He was diagnosed when he was 4. We have an opportunity to take him to Europe for 7-10 days this summer. However, my wife is concerned that it is too short a time to go through the difficulty of the time change, etc. I fear that holding him back from this opportunity sends the wrong message and is unnecessary. Any advice?
