Welcome to This Caregiver Course

This course is written for adults who care for a child living with diabetes. That might be a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or other relative.

You might know every routine well. You might also be new to all of this. That is a fine place to start.

Each lesson is short, and you can read one alone or in order.

Caregiving often means carrying daily tasks, planning, and worry at the same time. Daily tasks include meals, medicine times, and checking blood sugar.

Planning covers school days, sports, and trips. Worry can follow you into bed at night. This course covers all three.

Your child's care team is the doctors, nurses, and experts who help with diabetes. Together they set your child's blood sugar targets, the numbers to aim for. They also set the treatment plan, which covers medicine, food, activity, and checks.

This course does not make those choices. It helps you understand them, so you can ask better questions at visits.
