"""One of the most compelling insights is when she notes, ""One of the most important reasons for nurturing independence in your child is because they need to own this diagnosis. Diabetes does not own them. It does not define them. This is hard to teach your child, because Type 1 diabetes is a 24 hours a day, all-consuming condition."" - Belinda Childs, APRN, BC-ADM, CDE ""This book is a must read for parents of children that have been newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and for anyone with or without diabetes. Stories of what ""real life"" diabetes is like are what parents need. This book covers that and more. I would love to have copies of this book in the office for all of my diabetes patients and their parents to read."" - Jeni Neighbors, BSN, RN, CDE"
