Living with Diabetes
Family Communication
During the years ahead, you'll experience many of the same growing pains every parent faces as their child matures and gains independence. But you will have an additional transition to make – helping your child to manage diabetes.
Your family has its own way of communicating and working together to solve problems and face everyday challenges. After a child's diabetes diagnosis, it's more important than ever to talk with each other, even when it hurts.
Communicating with Your Child
There is a fine line between caring and nagging – between showing concern and hovering. How do you achieve the balance?
Working Together as a Parental Team
You aren't perfect – and neither is your spouse or partner. Managing diabetes is a lot like juggling – a careful balance of activity with food and medication.
