Take care,

I see you're relatively new to all of this. How are you dealing with it?

I was also 17 (just a few days after my 17th b-day) when I was diagnosed. If you have any questions or anything at all, I'm here to help.

I've moved back in with my folks, but they are out of the habit. I'd give your mother a little more time to get used to you being diabetic, more time to see that you're not about to die, and if she's still being in your business all the time, tell her that you appreciate her concern and you'd like her help with (pick something(s) you want her to help with diabetes wise) and that otherwise you want to manage it all by yourself, thank you very much.
When I was newly diagnosed, I printed up a bunch of business cards. You can do that too. You can get a template off the web, or make it up yourself (I suggest making it up yourself) and put things on there such as: the information you want them to know but don't want to have to repeat, and how you want them to support you (do or don't ask questions, what questions to ask or not ask).
Sometimes if a particular person is getting me upset, I write hir a letter saying that diabetes is a sensitive topic or whatever (blame yourself to avoid getting them mad) and asking them to say something else instead of whatever they've been saying.
Instead of asking me if I'm hypo when she's wondering about something I'm doing, she could ask me why I'm doing whatever I'm doing.

Are you getting much support from your family, friends, school?

At 11:18pm on March 11th, 2008, Jonah said…: I see you're pretty new to diabetes. I was diagnosed at 17 too, a year and a half ago. It's amazing how much can be learned quickly. Have you seen the diabetesteentalk discussion board?
