The UMass Memorial Health Care Family Diabetes Day is a free educational event for youth with diabetes and their caregivers to celebrate. Members of the UMass Memorial Diabetes Center of Excellence and guest speakers will present new discoveries in diabetes research and share insights for improving day-to-day management of diabetes and handling the challenges that arise at different ages.
Topics include balancing life with diabetes, family sharing of responsibilities at different developmental stages, emotional pitfalls, and advice from parents and teenagers living with diabetes.
This day of education, sharing and fun activities for families with a child growing up with diabetes is jointly sponsored by UMass Memorial Diabetes Center of Excellence, providing access to pediatric and adult diabetes clinics, and the American Diabetes Association.
This program is supported in part through the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Pappas.
