  This handbook for parents provides advice and information on how to cope with a diabetic child, and how to allow them to live a trouble-free life. Whether a child has been newly diagnosed or has had diabetes for some time, this book is designed to help parents cope with this increasingly common disease. It is the author's belief that there is no need to wrap a diabetic child in cottonwool and their aim is to help the child cope in a practical, no-nonsense way. Demystifying the paraphenalia of diabetes - the blood testing, injections, insulin pencils - and encouraging both parent and child, the book is a modern manual based on medical fact. Every aspect of a child's active life including birthday parties, cub camp and theatre visits is examined.
