✦ Synopsis

The role of the family in the management of Type-I diabetes is gaining recognition. In countries where the adolescent is dependent on the family for medical needs, the family's role is all the more important. At times, when the family is uncooperative, the care of the adolescent is hampered, making psychosocial intervention even more difficult. The following case study illustrates the difficulty encountered while working with a young diabetic belonging to an Indian family. The issues related to parental role and management of diabetes-related problems are discussed.
