You have to keep in mind that they mean well. Take it from someone who's been diabetic for almost 25 years, since I was 7. I lived through the "kid" phase, and then the "teenager phase", and while not as naggy as yours perhaps, my parents were "concerned".

As you get older, you will learn the art of "reflection". This art will show you that they mean well, and only mean for you to have the best life possible. At times they may be overbearing, and perhaps there is room for negiotion between you.... such as "if I keep my A1Cs in this range, back off a little"

It all straightens out in time.... When I got older, and then especially when I moved out of the house to go working, I didn't put much effort into my diabetes at all. Now here I am at 31, probably putting more effort in then even my parents wanted me to as a kid. :P
