Diabetes is a disease that affects the whole family, especially when a child is diagnosed. Whether you’re a parent, sibling, or other family member, your support and understanding can make all the difference. Are you worried about how to manage diabetes at school or wondering how other families are managing their child’s diabetes?  Our goal is to provide information and resources to help every child and every family adjust to life with diabetes.
