They need to give us a better reason to live other than "you'll go blind, lose a leg, or destroy your kidneys". I had a hard time finding something worth taking care of my diabetes for, cycling is what saved my life to be completely honest...being able to do something that I was told I couldn't do when I was a child, be an athlete, it was has turned me around and made me want to take care of my diabetes (most of the time, I still have my days, weeks, and months where I neglect it).

Positive encouragement and criticism works so much better most of the time! I hate to say it, but those scare tactics never worked well for me either.
