It takes time to learn how to live with diabetes, so you have to remain patient with your relative as they go through this process. There will be good days and bad days experienced by your loved one, as well as by you. Remember that there will be times of stress and these will be the hardest days. When patients who have diabetes are experiencing stress, this is when their diabetes is the most difficult to control. This is when you can help them keep things in perspective, and help your relative find their path again. Give them gentle reminders about eating healthy and exercising.
