Coaching with Dr. Mark! How to Help Your Family Support You

What do you do when your family doesn't understand the challenges of living with T1D?

We've all been there. You're cranky and irritable because your blood sugar is out-of-range. Your loved ones are annoyed with you because of the way you are treating them. When you try to explain what's going on, you don't have the words to describe how you feel. Then this tension leads to more misunderstanding and makes it difficult for your family to give you the support you need.

In this episode, you'll hear about the challenges Alex has had in getting the support he needs from his family around T1D. Then you'll hear Dr. Mark coach Alex on how he can help his family understand what life with T1D is like for him, so they can be better equipped to give him the support he needs.
