When there is the diagnosis of diabetes in a family member, habits that involve not only the patient have to be changed.
And supporting a relative with diabetes is important to get the control of the disease by adapting a new lifestyle, so that it is not complicated.
Some recommendations:
1. Each family has its own form of communication, so to talk about the subject, the ideal is to treat it, start, as a “normal” issue that they can talk together.
2. In addition to being emotional support, you can also help your relative to make healthy changes.This will help you handle your diabetes.Start by modifying their eating habits together.
3. Understand that when a relative with diabetes is very irritable or has bad temper, its blood sugar level can be too high or too low.Instead of discussing, you must help you control the blood sugar level and take measures to correct the problem.
4. When people who have diabetes are under stress, they can have more problems to control their blood sugar level.When this happens, try to help the person maintain things in perspective and recover again.
These are just some measures that specialists recommend, but it is recommended that together with their relative with diabetes, they will always go with their doctor to talk about any doubt or possible problem.You can also consult more information on official pages, such as that of the American Diabetes Association or the Mexican Diabetes Federation.
