Who is in charge of your diabetes?

	I take total control of my diabetes and health care team.

	I let the doctors take the lead but I stay in step the whole way.

	I have a family member (or other caregiver) who is working with me and my doctors.

	I prefer to do as much myself as possible.

	My doctors/caregiver have the bulk of the responsibility.

	It's a tug-of-war!

	It feels like the diabetes is in control.
