Welcome, and Thank You for Caring

Partners, parents, children and friends all help loved ones with diabetes. Their help might cover daily routines, emotional support or planning for appointments.

Some days the help is a meal. Other days it is an hour of listening.

Caregiving is a meaningful role. It deserves support of its own.

You do not need a medical background to start.

This course gives plain facts, one idea at a time. Each lesson ends with a few quick questions. Then comes one small thing to try that day.

Ask your loved one's care team which kind of help would be most useful.

This course has seven chapters.

It covers how diabetes works and how to help with food. It also shows how to spot and treat a low. Other chapters cover caring for an older parent and looking after your own health.
