Parents & Caregivers

Do you provide care for a loved one with diabetes? Do you plan meals and help with medication? You may assist in daily errands and appointments. Or perhaps you provide hands-off moral support and motivation. Whatever your role, as someone caring for a loved one with diabetes you are faced with many challenges.

To help you get a start on understanding diabetes and the challenges it creates, we provide helpful resources for parents of children and teenagers with diabetes. For those who are caring for a spouse, parent or older relative with diabetes, discover how you can fill a vital role by helping your loved one stay healthy.

We also have information for women diagnosed with gestational diabetes or who have diabetes and are concerned about their risks during pregnancy.
