If you are a caregiver for a child who has or may have COVID-19, ensure that you protect yourself, family, and others. For children with diabetes, it is really important to pay attention to sick day management plans that your healthcare team has provided.
Some steps that are common to children with and without diabetes include:
- Monitoring your child’s symptoms
- Preventing the spread of infection to others (e.g. proper hand washing and physical distancing)
- Maintaining important home supplies (e.g. hand soap and tissues)
