For Diabetes Caregivers

According to Guiding Principles for Diabetes Care: For People with Diabetes, people with diabetes should always receive high-quality care on an ongoing basis to ensure that they are taking good care of their diabetes, and to make changes to their treatment plan when needed to achieve control of their diabetes.

Studies show that patients with higher levels of trust in their regular physicians are more likely than patients with less trust to have better care. For doctors, increasing patients’ trust in them may be associated with improvement in two important areas: getting care promptly and getting needed health care.

Children with diabetes and their families often face unique challenges. But in order to feel better, kids need to learn to take charge of their diabetes – and families can help. Parents or guardians can encourage children to feel good about themselves, seek support from others, and take action to manage their diabetes one step at a time.
