5.0 out of 5 stars A "real life" guide to managing diabetes in children., April 25, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweet Kids: How to Balance Diabetes Control and Good Nutrition with Family Peace (Paperback)

This book contains the most common sense, practical information I have found yet for helping manage my toddlers diabetes. This is not a medical text, but an easy to read guide for managing insulin, meals and the behavioral problems related to diabetes. There are excellent suggestions on how to not let the behavioral problems develop. I highly recommend this "down to earth" book

The book deals with real problems faced by real people BEFORE the introduction of modern insulin pumps. The pump solves many if not most problems discussed in the book.

One of the biggest obstacles we faced when my daughter was diagnosed at 2 was not battles over shots or finger pokes; it was over food. Read more

A wonderful book that took me through the hurdles when my grandson was first diagnosed. I referred to it again when researching my own book about type 1. I recommend it highly.
