Mother of a child with diabetes: This is THE BEST book to give anyone who is new to diabetes. It really helps explain diabetes in a way that's easy to understand by a child as well as a parent. My Daughter was Dianosed with Type 1 Diabetes on 1/27/04 when she was 17 months old only 6 months after she had open heart surgery. My mind was tired and worn out by everything that had gone on before her diagnosis with diabetes, and I was 3 weeks away from delivering my 2nd child. I needed something that was extremely easy to read as well as understand through all the stress I was dealing with, and this book that the UNM Hospital gave us was PERFECT. Anyone I know who is diabetic or knows someone who is, I highly suggest this book even if you don't deal with that person on a daily basis. It will help you to understand what that person is dealing with, and how to handle anything that may come up if you are with that person. It doesn't matter if you're type 1 or type 2 it does explain both conditions but it goes into more depth on type 1. Trust me, try this book. It can make a world of difference.
The Diabetes Bible: This book explains what you need to know if you/your child are newly diagnosed in an easy to understand language. We were given the book while our daughter was in the hospital, and even though we have many more books in our diabetes library now, this one has the most marked pages, and is definitely the one we read the most, especially in the first year.
Reviews:
Understanding Diabetes 10 th edition by H. Peter Chase: I am a diabetes educator and this is the book I recommend to all the parents of a child that has diabetes. When a child is first diagnosed with diabetes the parents are overwhelmed with information and do not remember everything the nurse or doctor tells them and I find that this book gives all the information in a nut shell. It will also help answer the everyday questions of What "if". It is a excellent resource and gives very good examples of what the bloodsugar should be for each age, how much food to give for exercise, the action of insulin how to treat low blood sugar and what to do on days that your child is sick. etc. It gives pretty much all the information you need.
