A guide for parents: understanding the diabetes journey from the child's point of view. Winner of Society of Authors best healthcare book for the general reader.
A childhood diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes can be devastating for the whole family. Parents and children both worry for the future and how diabetes will affect their lives. For parents these concerns can be compounded by not fully understanding what your child is really going through.

Combining her own experience with interviews with children and adults who share their stories, Dr Besser provides an illuminating insight into what it feels like to grow up with diabetes.
Covers:
The different phases of diagnosis and acceptance
Hypos, blood tests and injections
Food and eating
School and the teenage years
Family and friends
Life beyond home
