A healthy child starts to
urinate more often, seem perpetually thirsty and begins to lose weight.
Suddenly, a family faces the lifelong challenge of managing Type 1 diabetes.
The treatment involves carefully balancing food intake and activities with
injections of insulin, along with daily blood sugar monitoring and record
keeping.
How do you impose this regimen on a carefree, rambunctious
child or an adolescent seeking independence? Three years ago, the Diabetes Team
at Toronto’s renowned Hospital for Sick Children offered their medical
expertise and practical know-how to parents through the first edition of
When a Child Has Diabetes. This revised and updated edition will help
readers learn the latest about the causes and management of this challenging
condition. |
