As part of tax reform legislation passed by Congress, the individual mandate provision in the ACA requiring every American citizen to obtain health insurance or pay an annual financial penalty is history, with the White House ready to sign off on the bill.

It’s the time of year for counting blessings and expressing gratitude. In this spirit, I’ve been thinking about the gifts of caring for a child with diabetes. There was a time when such a notion would have seemed preposterous; but over the years, I’ve come to appreciate that the disease, while terrible, can also be full of wonders. It’s true what the sociologist Arthur Frank says of chronic illness: “The terrors assault us at once; the wonders take longer to become visible.”.

Caring for a child with diabetes requires significant financial, emotional, and psychological resources. In the case of divorce or shared custody, parents’ stressors multiply, as caregivers perpetually have to transfer information, supplies, and strategies across households. This situation can become even more nerve-wracking when one parent is not fulfilling his or her caregiving responsibilities.

Telemedicine has created an environment where patient convenience paired with reduced costs and increased efficiencies have made a better health care experience for both patients and physicians. The technology might be able to improve rural health care systems by increasing access to patients who would otherwise have to travel long distances.
