So now I don't know what to do.  I caught Olivia in a couple of blatant, non-diabetes related lies tonight and my whole thread of hope that it might be a meter issue vanished like the pathetic puff of smoke it was.

Is it appropriate to punish a kid for lying about her diabetes stuff?  Part of me is really inclined to because it's not just failure to remember, it's outright lying.  But the other part of me, the part that's a total pushover at times, is hesitant.  I think I need to be harder on her than I have been, but I'm not sure how hard to be.  I don't want to come down like a ton of bricks, but I don't want her thinking she can constantly pull one over on me.

This really freakin' sucks.  I hate to be the diabetes police, but apparently I'm going to have to be.  I hate getting angry with her about her diabetes care, but if she's going to lie, then I don't feel like I have a choice.  I will not scream at her, I will not get in her face, but I am going to have to make it clear that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and it needs to stop, now.  

Now if I could just figure out a way to make that stick, to make it so she would realize that what she's doing is dangerous and stupid.  I have a feeling I'm in for a long few years.  And that feeling just sucks.
