Our entire family is coping with diabetes.
My daughter was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She is not the only person that has been affected by the diagnosis. Our entire family is coping with diabetes. When she was diagnosed, I knew that she would have to make a lot of lifestyle changes, but I also realized that the changes would be good for the entire family. It took my daughter’s diagnosis to make me realize that none of us had been eating properly or exercising enough. Now that my daughter is forced to make changes to the way she eats, our entire family is eating healthier. It is my responsibility to make sure that my daughter has healthy meals and snacks to eat. Since she is not permitted to eat sweets and drink sugary beverages, the rest of the family is no longer eating and drinking those things either.
