During my research to Diabetes, I came across such a wonderful article, which I cant stop myself sharing with my readers.
This article is writter by Mr. Lawrence Fisher, PhD on Lifestyle and Behavior.
In this article, he argued that family and couple relationships during the adult years are as important for diabetes management and outcomes as they are for individuals with diabetes who are children, adolescents, or elderly. He posed three questions to guide the discussion.
First, what aspects of family and couple relationships are linked to the management of diabetes during the adult years? This is an important question for two reasons:
documenting links between the family and diabetes also identifies important risk and protective factors that can define high-risk family settings for early intervention.
Second, what are the documented health risks for family members of people with diabetes? If diabetes is truly a family affair, what are the health consequences for non–genetically related partners of having diabetes in the family?
Third, if both the first and second questions yield convincing information, what do we know about developing and implementing interventions to address the context of the patientpartner diabetes-related relationship?
The most powerful couple risk indicators focus on nonconcordant diabetes beliefs, negative emotional tone, poor problem-solving and conflict resolution skills, and low organizational abilities. The identified family risk indicators for diabetes in this age range are areas where focused relationship-based interventions might be directed.
