Diabetes is a pathology that has major consequences not only for those who suffer from it, but also for those around them. Relatives can play different roles in this respect, depending on the type of relationship they have with the person with diabetes. The onset of the disease is likely to modify pre-established roles within social groups such as the family sphere, with the possibility of strengthening ties, but also of damaging them.
