Getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is no fun for anyone. It's stressful and scary! It's full of finger sticks, needles, blood tests, and strange words like pancreas, insulin, and autoimmune. Ugh--Nobody likes that!
But learning about diabetes shouldn't be stressful--It should be fun!
Was It Something I Ate? The Type 1 Diabetes Myth Buster for Kids helps take the stress out of learning by using kid-friendly humor and rhyme to explain type 1 diabetes and to debunk common misconceptions. It also reassures kids that diabetes won't keep them from doing all the things they love to do.
This book is an excellent addition to any library, but it will be especially loved by recently diagnosed children, their families, friends, teachers, and classmates.
This is a second edition book and is the first book in the Type 1 Diabetes for Kids series. Be sure to also check out book 2 in the series--Up, Down, and All Around: The Type 1 Diabetes Guidebook for Kids.
