Editorial Reviews

Shock. Fear. Confusion. These are common reactions when parents are told that their child has Type I diabetes. They learn that there is no cure, so it is a life sentence for their child. At the same time, they are overwhelmed with medical information about the disease as well as about blood testing, insulin shots and new dietary routines. And what about the initial emotional impact of this diagnosis on those parents? Too often, little is done to help parents cope. Moving Forward... With Diabetes addresses the emotional journey faced by parents of children newly diagnosed with diabetes. This one hour twelve minute program, on DVD, features interviews with parents of children with Type I diabetes. They share insights, stories, advice and reassuring messages all in a supportive, positive manner. Topics include: facing the diagnosis, managing diet and testing, finding support, dealing with schools and normal activities, teaching responsibility to the child, and coping with emotions. There is plenty of helpful advice and lessons learned. Their children also offer advice to parents and talk about living with diabetes. The chapter titles are: After the diagnosis - coping with the diagnosis A new lifestyle - new routines for the family It's manageable - positive approaches At school - issues and strategies Out "there" - building a normal life The journey - stories and lessons learned Many resources - finding help Good advice - advice and thoughts for parents The kids - tips for parents and a kid's perspective
