Classes and Support for Pediatric Caregivers

Supporting Families

If you’re a parent or another caregiver for a child with diabetes, there’s a lot to know. It can be overwhelming. At Joslin Diabetes Center, we’re here for you and your whole family. It’s our goal to help simplify diabetes care, so you and your child know exactly what to do and can experience successful treatment.

We offer classes and support groups for the caregivers of pediatric patients. These classes cover the basics of diabetes, how to manage the condition, and the technologies used in its treatment. Many caregivers in our community find support, strength, and hope as they connect with other families and learn age-appropriate techniques for managing diabetes.

After Hours Urgent Medical Attention

If it is after work hours and your child needs urgent medical attention, call us and ask for the On-Call Pediatric Endocrinologist.
