Hi Type1Mum, I think any time you can get a child to take some responsibility it is good. However, my teenagers (none of them with diabetes) could wake up in the middle of the night if they tried. Alarms, cowbells and fire trucks in their room would not wake them up. If you can get your son to wake up to an alarm, it might be a good thing to get started. Do some trial runs and see how it goes.
