Description
Having a child diagnosed with diabetes is an enormous challenge for any parent. Dealing with concerns about your child’s well-being and handling unexpected changes for the entire family can be overwhelming. Equally stressful are the daily decisions surrounding the care of this chronic condition. It can seem like there are thousands of question and never enough answers. Even families who have lived with the disease for years know that diabetes often presents new challenges that give rise to new questions.
101 Tips for Raising Healthy Kids with Diabetes was created to provide answers for parents and caregivers of children with diabetes. Quick and easy to read, this essential guide offers tips and advice on a variety of topics, including medication, nutrition, techniques for certain age-groups, psychological considerations, special situations, and much more.
You’ll find answers to question such as:
• What ‘s the best way to treat low blood glucose in a baby?
• How should we handle sick days? Can my daughter take pills for her diabetes?
• Is it safe for my son to play football? Did my child inherit diabetes from me?
• Are our other children at risk? Is an insulin pump a good idea for my toddler?
• Should we consider home schooling? How can my child have “adult-onset” diabetes?
• What’s the difference between basal and bolus insulin?
101 Tips for Raising Healthy Kids with Diabetes provides the down-to-earth answers for all parents and caregivers of children with diabetes.
