Answer: b. Introduce the adolescent to another teenager who is successfully managing
his diabetes.
Feedback: The adolescent benefits from meeting teens who are successfully managing
a similar diagnosis. The adolescent might not respond well to being instructed what to
do. Although the teen needs information related to consequences of noncompliance,
this should never be in the form of a warning. In addition, this information would not
facilitate coping with the diagnosis. The teen needs to remain as independent as
possible. Although parents must learn the information as well, the teen still is
encouraged to be very involved in his care and to be as independent as possible.

diabetes.
