1. Learn about the illness
Begin by talking with your loved one about their diagnosis. Ask how they are managing. And talk with their doctor to find out how you can learn more.
Do some online research, and see if there are support groups in your area. If not, you should be able to find a web-based group.
It’s important to let your loved one know they aren’t alone. Millions of people live with diabetes, which is why finding a support group can be valuable. Your loved one can meet with other people with diabetes and get support, answers and advice.

Let them know they’ll be visiting the doctor more often. Annual foot and eye exams can avoid the issues that result in more serious problems (blindness, amputation).
