- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
Loving someone with type 1 diabetes comes with a certain amount of responsibility. It means learning how to recognize the signs of dips and spikes in blood sugar and to react accordingly. It means knowing how to perform a blood test and to understand the resulting reading. It means keeping a supply of glucose-raising foods on hand. At some point, it might even mean needing to administer a life-saving injection of glucagon or insulin.
Debbie Clarke of Manahawkin takes the responsibility so seriously, in fact, that her daughter Lyndsey?s diagnosis at 10 months of age prompted her to take early retirement in order to see to Lyndsey?s care full time.
