Supporting Your Young Person With Managing Their Diabetes
Presenters: Jenny Cropper & Stephanie Singham

This session will deliver information to parents and guardians on the current approaches to providing support for children and young people with diabetes and their families, within the UK.

We hope that this shared approach will help participants formulate where to go next or to find out what could be most helpful in supporting their young person with diabetes. We very much see families as holding the keys to successfully supporting their young people with managing their diabetes, whilst acknowledging that this is no easy task at times! Therefore we intend to bring together some ideas and to provide some signposts to help you along the way! Session sponsored by Animas and OneTouch.
