Forum Post: Re: compliance

ukiqueen — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:15:00 GMT

One suggestion is to positively reinforcement behaviors associated with good diabetes management and to provide consequences when they are not done. I'm sure your son has chores around the house and/or rules/expectations that he needs to follow. If he does what is expected, then he is rewarded or praised (i.e - earns an allowance, allowed to stay out later on the weekends, go to the movies/mall with friends, etc). If not, I'm sure he receives some sort of consequence or punishment (i.e. - no cellphone, no allowance, earlier curfew, extra chores, etc) . Its important for the same to happen with his daily diabetes management. Diabetes care is NOT negotiable. As a parent, you are concerned for your child's health, safety, and well-being. DO NOT apologize or feel sorry for him because of his diabetes (though we all know that you are feeling that and thinking that to yourself). Its important for parents to sit down with their child and together, come up with the expectations, goals, rewards, and consequences. Consistency is key. Do not let your child split or use parents against one another and manipulate the situation. They are maasters at that. Set small goals and make sure that the reward and/or punishment is given immediately after the fact. More importantly, make sure your son has say into what his goals/expectations are going to be and that the rewards/punishments are something that will motivate him. For most teens, its cell-phone privledges, driving/car, later curfew, etc. If the reward/punishment is not enticing, then its meaningless to the child. This may mean having to set weekly or shorter term goals/expectations and meeting regularly to evaluate and or update what is being addressed.

Diabetes camps and support groups, as well as on-line sites, such as this one and children with diabetes are good sources for your sonto meet others with diabetes.

Lastly, remember, your son is a teen and diabetes is not important in his life. Diabetes does not "fit in" to a teen's on-the-goal schedule. Stay positve and stay supportive! You're doing a good job by being involved and concerned! :)

Forum Post: Easy way to share info about signs and symptoms of stroke--one more way to put your work into action to benefit patients.

A.M.Avery — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:50:00 GMT

May 2010 focus on stroke: Take two minutes to reach colleagues and patients with ways to prevent stroke--something anyone with diabetes should know. Spread the word through Take2Save2, a program of the American Heart Association: http://bit.ly/aO3XrW . Include this link in your e-mails and relevant Web pages, and pass it along to clinicians and managers. And encourage others to do the same. In the meantime, review a sample of the AHA's stroke-prevention information: http://bit.ly/aHk5Ve .

Forum Post: Setting Up a Support Group for Adult Type 1ers

Mari — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 02:47:00 GMT

Hi!

I'm in Oz...and have been participating in a monthly drop-in pump clinic, where I wear 3 hats: (1) health professional, (2) Type 1 Diabetes, (3) insulin pump +/- CGM user.

We're looking to modify the format to something more along the lines of a facilitated support group that meets once a month; something that provides a place to disseminate info, allows ppl to chat/vent/chew the fat etc. We have a relatively good health/support service for children with Type 1 in town, but have identified a lack of services for those of us who are have grown up into adults since being diagnosed with Type 1 or those who are diagnosed in adulthood.

I'm sure such groups exist, and would be keen to hear from anyone who's had any involvement in one? eg. what works well? what doesn't? etc etc....

Cheers!

Mari

Forum Post: Shadowing a Diabetes Educator

Ray Hodges — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:33:00 GMT

Hi there,

I'm considering making a big career change and going into diabetes education. I've had great experiences with the educators I've worked with on my own diabetes care over the years, and it's something I've thought about doing for awhile. It would involve going back to school and giving up a career that I put a lot of time and money into establishing, but if I know I'll enjoy myself, that's more than OK. However, I want to cover as many bases as I can before making the decision. I've interviewed a few educators and doctors, and I've done a lot of on line research. The one last thing I would really like to be able to do is shadow an educator for a day to watch the interactions that an educator goes through in cases that are much different than my own (I know what the interactions are like in a case like mine!). One thing my work experience has taught me is that daily interactions really determine my job satisfaction, so I want to learn as much as I can about those interactions in diabetes education before I make a this decision.

I asked about shadowing at two offices where I've gone for my own care in NYC. They were both very helpful with interviews and informatoin, but neither could help with the shadowing request because of university privacy guidelines. I was wondering if anyone might be part of or know of a private practice (or any other type of practice) where they would consider helping with this type of unordinary request. I don't want to write a huge message about me here, so if I can help with any information about myself or anything else, please feel free to contact me! Thanks a lot for any advice, connections, suggestions, etc.

Have a good day!
