  For a teenager, finding out that they have diabetes can be a traumatic event, coming as it does at a time when life's full of the pressures of exams, job prospects and worrying about a date for Saturday night. This book, written by the Head of the Youth Department at the British Diabetic Association, who is herself a diabetic, provides reassuring advice and guides the reader through the maze of insulin, dietary changes, who the various people are at the hospital clinic, as well as how to cope with the additional emotional problems caused by diabetes.
