Ask Them If You Are Doing Too Much
Although you may be trying to help, there is always a possibility that you may be doing too much.
Being overbearing with your concern can push your loved ones away and cause them to build resentment.
In return, this can do the exact opposite of what you want. Doing check-ups on how they feel about your help is a pivotal part of the process. You may want to help, but make sure you are helping in a way that works for them.
Don’t Just Talk, But Listen
Whether you agree or disagree, listening is a huge part of helping people you care about.
Diabetes can do more than just affect the physical it can also cause stress, anxiety, and depression. This is something that should be addressed by the ones who care.
Listening to them will also open the door to understanding how to reach them in times when it may feel like they’re not listening to you when you’re trying to help. We often think that helping our loved ones means we should give them lectures about what they should do.
When trying to communicate the importance of diabetes with your loved one, it’s important to handle the situation with love and care. Realize that this situation may be hard for them and some things you won’t be able to fully understand. If your loved one is severely struggling with their diabetes, reach out to a healthcare professional for help.
