Long-term Occupational Consequences for Families of Children With Type 1 Diabetes: The Mothers Take the Burden

Abstract

Mothers of young children with newly diagnosed diabetes experienced negative consequences in their occupational situation. This inequality for mothers can have long-term negative consequences for their mental health and future economic situation. There is an urgent need for action to reduce the burden on families and to provide professional, social, and regulatory support, especially for mothers of young children with diabetes.
