Not having to deal with type 1 but being a parent, My only ideas is to maybe make a deal, test often, show me your numbers and if they are ok, maybe logging is not needed.
I could see where having to log separates her from the crowd she is so desperately trying to be a part of.
I am glad to see a transfer of responsibility to the teen, Actually, I think as soon as they become a teen, it should start. My little just got out of college and many of her friends are so scared of being an adult because up until the day they left for college, they were babied. Parents bailing them out throughout college and now the parents say off with you, you are an adult.
The license thing is an excellent thing if the kid is into driving.
Make a deal, she can shave her head if she keeps a log book, what ever works.
