I am a caregiver for my father, who lives with diabetes. I’ve seen firsthand the impact it has on both his physical and mental well-being, as well as mine. Diabetes comes with complications and demands constant attention and emotional decision-making, affecting the whole family. Balancing diet, medication, and lifestyle can be overwhelming. As a caregiver, I offer understanding, support, and empathy. Effective communication, education, and emotional support are vital when navigating diabetes challenges and providing optimal care. Let’s come together to support our loved ones on their diabetes journey.
My 30-year journey with my father, facing difficulties caused by a lack of awareness and resources for managing diabetes, inspired me to become a Blue Circle Voice. I can share my experiences, learn from others, and advocate for lifestyle changes in diabetes management.
