The diagnosis of Diabetes in a child can lead to a variety of emotions in the child, siblings or the adults in the family including anger, Sadness, and guilt. These feelings are completely normal.

Most children are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes which means there are going to be a lot of adaptations to make on a daily basis including what foods are eaten, the daily physical activity level, and how they manage caring for their disease like giving shots and taking other medications, monitoring blood glucose level, getting enough sleep and caring for their body.

Children with Diabetes can lead normal lives and can be healthy as long as they and those who care for them learn how to manage the disease. An older child can even learn how to do much of his or her Diabetic care by herself or himself, with education about the disease and by gaining confidence in their ability to handle things.
