If the person with the diagnosis is a child and the parents have full-time jobs, it may seem impossible to adequately manage blood sugars, plan proper meals, and make sure their child is provided the amount of attention they need in order to lead a high quality life. An example of responsibility transference in relation to T2D diagnosis is blaming others for nonadherence because they are not living the way a person with diabetes needs to live, referring to exercise, medication adherence, and proper diet, and it is causing them to be noncompliant. This can be addressed by teaching the patient with T2D to view themselves as being responsible for their health, lifestyle choices, and autonomous in their disease process
