 Not all I had hoped for and more... September 16, 2007

This book is very basic, when my daughter was diagnosed at 18 months, I found I was looking for more detailed information than this book had, the pink panther book was great for clinical knowledge, but there is still no great book on the market with the day to day advise I think a parent of a toddler with diabetes needs, like which sippy cups have ounce markings on them so you can measure 4 oz juice easiest and the value and ease of weighing fruit versus measuring it in cups. These are the things parents need, this book was bland.

This is a very nice book to learn, understand and start to accept what is expected for your child to live with diabetes. It covers everything from dealing with the diagnosis to a snack chart with serving size and carbs all of which has been helpful.
A very good start for reading about type -1 diabetes August 23, 2005

This is a very reassuring book. I recommend it as a starting point for parents who have been through hard times in the hospital, when they had their child diagnosed with diabetes. We have been through this experience when our 2-years old child was diagnosed with diabetes, we were struggling, not believing, looking for advice everywhere. This book helped us put ourselves together, and start dealing with it in a mature way. It first teachs you how to deal with diabetes emotionally which is the most important step in the treatment, how to explain it to your diabetic kid, his brothers/sisters, how to make injections easier for you and your kid, and many other useful advices. It is written from the nursing point of view, so you must have another comprehensive home reference.
Very informative. December 5, 2001

My young son was diagnosed at 15 months of age. I found this book to be a very valuable resource to me as I learned to care for him. It contains many things I needed to know that I couldn't find in other books. I highly recommend it to parents of young children with diabetes. I have turned to it again and again!

Clear, concise and most important understandable. One of the few books dealing with this age group Betschart created an excellent resource for young families. I used this when researching my own book and highly recommend it.
