Caring for the Caregivers

The supportive family and friends of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are in a class by themselves. At dLife, we call these caregivers "Type 3s." Your role as a type 3 may range from hands-off, verbal support of your loved one to 24-hour-a-day care. Whatever you do, people with diabetes have a greater chance of achieving and maintaining good blood glucose control - thus delaying complications - when they are surrounded by supportive friends and family members.
