Format: Feature Article Institute: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Teens with diabetes and their families often face unique challenges.
Teens may sometimes have feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness, and
fear, or they may blame themselves or their family for their diabetes.
These feelings are normal every now and then. But to feel better, teens
need to learn to take charge of their diabetes—and families can help.
A
new feature article from the National Diabetes Education Program
(NDEP), titled “Help Your Teen Deal with the Ups & Downs of
Diabetes,” provides tips on how parents can help their teens deal with
the unique challenges associated with diabetes. The article refers
parents to NDEP’s “Tips for Teens” tip sheet series, which provides
information on diabetes and encourages teens to take action to manage
their disease for a long and healthy life.
