I've come to the understanding that most parents are unaware how much Diabetes Type II is becoming a primary health concern for Canadian children. "Children & Type II Diabetes" - Canadian Diabetes Association is for every parent to read and know. Diabetes II is a reversable disease when detected early.
I also strongly suggest that anybody who a caregiver, teacher, co-worker to teenager or young adult with Diabetes Type I, take the time to read "Teens & Diabetes" - Canadian Diabetes Association It gives a well written description of some of the stresses and worries that come with the disease.
If you need to share your own experience with the disease, if you're struggling to understand what a loved one is going through, or just to become part of the support team, go visit "Juvenation" . It's a great site where you could find the right group or person to give you find the support you need.
Nobody should ever have to endure any hardship alone, least a child. Give them encouragement, guideance and learn with them as they grow. You are the image they will be as adults. And as you go to bed tonight, whomever you might be, please remember. Just in the blink of an eye, your life could change forever.
