The topic of how to raise a family when you have one child with diabetes and one or more children without diabetes is a topic that deserves a lot of attention. The child without diabetes naturally is pushed to the side a little bit. Not intentionally, but it is only natural because a child with diabetes is like a second job. It is a 24/7 job that takes a lot of the attention away from the other family members. We talk a lot about normalizing things for the other child, so they don't feel left out. An example of that would be, there are certain things children with diabetes should avoid eating. We have them explain that to the child by saying, "All children, in order to be healthy, shouldn't have candy and shouldn't have soda, and shouldn't have juice." So that the child with diabetes shouldn't have that, not just because they have diabetes, but because it is not healthy for anybody to have. The child with diabetes doesn't feel isolated and singled out by not being able to have those things and the child without diabetes also can't have those things. I tell parents that all of the children should eat the same way. The child with diabetes should not be given a special diet. They need to carbohydrates, but there shouldn't be an obvious difference between the two that will isolate both of the children. The child without diabetes often feels conflicted. They feel so sorry for their sibling that has diabetes. They don't want their sibling to have diabetes. They see how it makes them upset and makes their parents upset at times. But at the same time, in a way they can feel envious of their sibling who has diabetes because that sibling is getting more attention, especially at first. We talk a lot about normalizing and having parents pay particular attention to that, spend time with the other sibling so they don't feel neglected because all of the focus is on the child with diabetes.
