Parenting Kids with Diabetes

Fit4D Parenting Kids with Diabetes Coaching 

When you learn your child has diabetes, shock and disbelief are completely expected responses. Fear happens too, as all the possible complications and frightening scenarios flood your mind. Fit4D offers personalized coaching to empower you and your family for the rest of your lives.

How does it work?

You decide whether you want to engage with a Fit4D coach to obtain support on an “as needed basis.” If so, Fit4D Calls may be best for you as they provide the flexibility to discuss individual issues without the structure of a formal coaching program.

Should you be prefer to address your health goals in greater depth and benefit from continual support and structured guidance– Fit4D Memberships may be best for you.

Fit4D contacts your child's physician to understand the unique personal needs and health care requirements.

Next you will be asked to provide some background information about your child regarding a number of relevant topics:

• Medical history - what medications your child is taking, recent blood work results, other medical conditions your child may have, and the symptoms your child may have experienced leading up to diabetes diagnosis.
• Nutrition history - the typical eating habits and daily nutrition intake, food preferences, food aversions, food allergies, vitamin/mineral/supplement intake and weight history.
• Exercise history - what your child currently does for physical activity, what types of exercise your child has enjoyed in the past, what sorts of activities your child likes and dislikes.

Then, based on the assessment, your coaching team will work with you to tailor a plan and provide support that is best for your child.

Finally, you will receive guidance from your Fit4D Coaches as you work together to empower your child in his or her diabetes management.
