Data collected through recorded interviews with seven adolescents were examined in the light of Wright e Leahey's Calgary Family Evaluation Model .Narratives demonstrated that despite the increased activities in the daily routine of the adolescent and family for care and control of diabetes, family interactions experience little change with the arrival of the illness and that conflicts between parents and adolescents with diabetes do not differ from those that occurred between parents and healthy adolescents. Overprotection was a sentiment felt by the teenagers after the onset of the disease because parents have concerns about immediate complications and long term. The main bond shown by the adolescents interviewed with their families was the bond of trust. Adolescents share the diabetes management with brothers superficially, even those who maintain more closed. Extended family also offers contributions in different stages of the disease. The adolescents interviewed communicate with your family is extensive and direct, feeling confident to talk about various issues with parents and other members, also reporting to whom they relate better at home. Family tries shape up according to the needs of the person who has diabetes, the organization and function.
