US site supporting parents of teens with T1. Just for Parents is an online program to help parents who are struggling with teens who have type 1 diabetes.
The program is designed to help you evaluate the amount and kind of distress you may be experiencing, what might be contributing to your distress, and tips to help deal with it.
A peer support network for parents of young adults with diabetes, particularly focusing on the assocaited emotional strains.
This site has a great stress assessment tool for parents of teens. Whilst US based everything else is relevant and the results highlight areas which you can focus on. I found it useful to think about my/our situation when answering the questions, although self-analysis is sometimes not so easy and can be upsetting.
