Editor's Note
When a parent finds out that their child has type 1 diabetes all they can think of is getting their glucose under control. After they get used to the changes for the child and the family, they start to look for ways to either minimize the damage diabetes causes, or to gain perfect control.
This month we have a collection of articles that will help you help these parents reach their goals. The good thing is that most of these solutions are inexpensive and relatively side effect free.
