I agree Matt. I was dx'd at 14. I felt the same way then. It's your burden and you have to manage it. Have you talked to them about it? It's hard for us old people to let go. Our kids change so much and we usually don't recognize it until we're told or something unepected and often unwanted happens.

Of course it's much easier if you have ammunition. Are you doing the things you need to be doing such as testing, following a good diet, and exercising? Is your A1C good? Are your hypo's managed? Letting them know you have all these things under control will really help. And of course you know that freedom from parents is not the main goal, freedom from complications is. Not controlling things will catch up to you. She doesn't make exceptions.
