Reviews
What a wonderful and very thorough book on living, learning and adapting to the lifetime diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. It takes the reader (whether it be a parent, a child/young adult with Type 1 diabetes, a teacher or any number of diabetes healthcare professionals) through exactly what life is like for a young person, from the day of Type 1 diabetes diagnosis through all the issues involved with daily life and emotions of this dreaded disease. I particularly appreciated that each topic is discussed from 3 perspectives (the child, the parent and clinical advice) plus an excellent educational narrative. This will be a valued go-to resource to be read over and over again by parents and others who help, teach and nurture Type 1 diabetic young ones. -- Joanne Milo, writer, blogger, and diabetes advocate, thesavvydiabetic.com Finally! A book that takes both the parent's and child's perspectives into consideration. Eliot LeBow proves that the first step in helping someone with diabetes is to truly understand their point of view. -- Gary Scheiner, MS, CDE, 2014 AADE Diabetes Educatior of the Year, Owner and Clinical Director, Integrated Diabetes Services, Author of Think Like a Pancreas and Diabetes: How to Help
