Summary: Read it and weep!
Comment: It is so refreshing to read a book that speaks for the children instead of another doctor or professor's medical perspective. It makes a reader understand how pervasive this disease is and how every action, response, or comment can affect the child.

Rating: 3
Summary: Growing Up With Diabetes: What children want...
Comment: This is a well-intended but ultimately limited book that aims to embrace the large issue of shaping parental understanding of and response to their children's diabetes. This ambition is not well served by the book's brevity; given the author's own premise that diabetes is different for every child and every family, greater depth and breadth of discussion of the many issues at hand peppered with presentation and analysis of specific anecdotes would be useful here. As the mother of a newly diagnosed 12 year-old son, I think that this book probably best serves as a primer for affected families with younger children. I should think that the book's topic might be specifically addressed to families of adolescents (vs. younger children)in a separate work.

Rating: 5
Summary: What an encouragement!
Comment: This book was very informative and very encouraging for me as a parent with a newly diagnosed 18 month old child with diabetes. Not only did the author address the concerns of children with diabetes, she also zeroed in on some of my own fears, concerns and misunderstandings involving diabetes and how it affects the day-to-day activites in my family. I would recommend this book to anyone feeling overwhelmed and frightened with a newly diagnosed child with diabetes.
