If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, managing the condition may feel overwhelming at times. Your child will likely need insulin, which can be administered using either a pen or an insulin pump. While it may seem daunting initially, they’ll eventually learn how to do this themselves, with your support. As Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” This challenging journey will help your child become resilient and self-sufficient.
Additionally, in England and Wales, recent updates to guidelines may make more advanced diabetes technology accessible for your child. From continuous glucose monitors to insulin pumps, these tools can ease management and improve quality of life. You can also explore Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to help cover the costs associated with your child’s extra care.
