Relationship to Diabetes
Type 1
People who don?t live with diabetes themselves, likely have a family member or friend who does. Diabetes is a challenging disease that affects the entire family in many ways.

? If you are living with diabetes or have a loved one with the disease, family support is very important when it comes to managing diabetes and preventing serious health problems,? explained Maureen Mau, Riverwood diabetes nurse educator. ?It?s also important to know that if you have a family history of diabetes ? such as a mother, father, brother, or sister ? you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.?
