Is anyone here a parent of a child with diabetes?

Question:

I have an 8yr old he was diagnosed at 1 1/2yr old. He is getting to a point where he is very disrespectful fighting all the time i try to punish him but i find myself not going thru with it cause then he gets all riled up his blood sugar gets out control or he wont eat if he is sent to his room there has been times when i tell him fine dont eat if you end up in hospital it'll be on you, but that does'nt phase him. Any suggestions on forms of punishment that wont back fire on me and cause him to end up in the ER for not wanting to eat?
Answers:
Don't feel bad that your son has this, because giving in will make yours and his situation worse. Use Timeouts when he is not behaving, have him sit in a special chair in a corner for 5 minutes, use a timer. You are enabling him to get what he wants. Tell him how its going to be, and make him listen. Don't send him to his room. Do time outs, make him sit in a hard straight back chair. If he doesn't listen, spank him. You need to get him under control, because he does not know what is best for him. Treat him like you would any other unruly child. Get it under control.

I am not a parent, but there may be some help out there for you. Maybe a support group would be a good idea for you and for your son or maybe some sort of group therapy.

Good luck and best wishes.
