Educate the parents of the prevelance of the disease so they know they’re not alone and it’s not their fault. 

Offer them information on support groups for family’s in the same situation. 
Provide them with good information on websites and books that have more information on management and the disease process. 

Creative ways to reduce the child’s stress about the injections like making it some sort of game to reduce their stress which will help reduce the parents stress. 
Give them plenty of opportunities to ask questions and answer them all and provide more information when possible.]]> 2018-03-01 17:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sfourhman/cp7559p0v162/wish/237033766 Group 8 sfourhman https://padlet.com/sfourhman/cp7559p0v162/wish/237034706 Considering developmental level, how would you approach diabetes teaching for an 8 year old?
