Use a program to upload the data from the meter. It's much more useful than logging ever will be. Lifescan, Freestyle, etc all have programs. If she has a MM pump, use Carelink. If this is not possible log it together. Kids scream that they won't freedom, but many really want freedom from the responsibility of D. Make using the program/log book something you do together... and (hold your breath) don't "yell" at her for what she's not doing, rather set goals. Make it a routine. Always upload/log together on Sunday mornings for example. It should help keep her accountable as well.
