| I actually keep Aaron's log book for him. He does pretty much everything else (except order his own supplies, which are on my credit card lol) and it's a tedious job guaranteed to be hated by a teenage boy. I'm happy to do it and it allows me to keep an eye on how his numbers are without having to constantly ask. And not sure if there's research to back it up, but the current thinking among leading pediatric professionals is that that continued involvement/support of parents tends to protect teens from "burnout" and encourage better control. (even when they claim to be irritated by it.)
Well before he leaves home we'll be getting the software so he can download his meter onto a logging program. At that point he'll be in charge, since he has the PC (Plea to meter companies: mac-compatible software, please!).
