Growing up with diabetes can be a struggle at every age. Diabetes Outside can help at each stage of childhood and adolescence.
The first months after your child is diagnosed with diabetes, your entire world changes. You are flooded with information and do not yet have a perspective on how to help your son or daughter get back to the carefree childhood they deserve.
But those months are critical to keep your child healthy both physically and emotionally, and the rest of your family healthy as well. You will meet with Amy Gonsalves weekly as you navigate the world with diabetes outside the doctor’s office.
As your child grows, he or she will face new hurdles as a kid with diabetes. As a parent, you will struggle to help them over and through each one. I want to be your child’s advocate and help you work out some of the issues that come up for them as well as for you as parents. I can help by providing you with strategies and different perspectives. I am also here to help your son or daughter feel confident that living with diabetes is not an impossible or lonely task. We are all in this together!
