The Journey Through Illness of the Type 1 Diabetes Caregiver, from Disruption to Positive Coping

Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects mainly children and teenagers. The life, feelings, thoughts and thinking patterns of their parental caregivers must be taken in consideration as they are severely affected by this illness. In the following qualitative study, we are drawing a timeline inspired by mythology aimed to locate the different phases in a universal narrative of the caregivers. Thus, this timeline is used to create a conceptual tool for understanding, forecasting, and designing technological devices for them.
