Understanding how Type 1 Diabetes affects parents and caregivers

This is a research study that wants to understand the real impact Type 1 Diabetes has on parents and caregivers — not just on the child, but on the whole family. Researchers want to learn about how caring for a child with Type 1 Diabetes affects your job, your stress levels, your quality of life, and how much healthcare support you need. By sharing your experience, you'll help doctors and policymakers understand what families like yours go through.

Many studies focus on how Type 1 Diabetes affects the child who has it, but much less attention has been paid to how it affects the parent or caregiver. This study exists to fill that gap and make sure that the burden on families — missed work, emotional stress, healthcare costs — is recognized and addressed.
