We've purchased this book as part of an information package that we give to children who are newly diagnosed. Some of the issues are clearly outdated (for example, the child with DM having to eat the cake without icing whereas now we know that, using carbohydrate counting, this is not necessarily the case). There are positive aspects to the book-reinforcement that there are "special things" that you have to do to stay healthy-blood glucose checks, insulin injections etc... but above all, "you're (still)a regular kid." The book also touches on parental grief/anger at the disease, sibling jealousy, a child's perspective that diabetes means you'll "die" because of the first syllable of the word, "diabetes." In the eyes of our office staff, the positive aspects of this book outweigh the negative or "outdated" material.Maybe a revised edition or sequel could have info on the insulin pump!

but if your child can not read you can improvise on the whole not eating candy/cake thing-cause it is a fact that sometimes our children can't if we are already battling high blood sugars that day. The brick of a meter was accurate in the hospital part because unfortunately hospitals still use those things. As for a previous review about death, yes some people in my family were scared my child would die. They will have to deal with those feelings and will have some idiots say that to them in the future. Great book for children who do not remember what happened because they were diagnosed very young.

This is a very nice book for smaller children. I enjoyed reading this to my 2 year old. There are a few things that have changed since it was published in 1991. Children can now have some candy, ice cream and cake on special occasions and if it's sugar free or low on carbs. But overall this book was a nice way to introduce my child to the understanding that he is not alone and that there are other children who get diabetes.

the information is very much out of date and I returned the book.

Gift for a friend.

Horrifically outdated information regarding diet. Our children with type 1 diabetes can have sweets like any other child as long as it it ia accounted for with their insulin. And, yes, it is rough on parents, but telling a young child has caused their mommy to cry and daddy to be mad is not helpful at all. (The emotions around it can be discussed gently at home to ensure the child doesn't feel blame at all.) There are so many other books that handle the topic beautifully, like Eddie's Tale.

This book was published 24 years ago! Yes, nearly a quarter of century ago! And luckily, diabetes is much more manageable now (and hopefully less scary in most cases). I won't quote the problematic parts of the book now (other reviewers have done that very thoroughly) but it talks about being scared, dying and not being able to eat any sweets at all. Not only is this no longer true, but kids definitely don't need to feel scared, sad or different from others. There are other children's books on the subject (although not enough for sure). I have been skipping the bad parts when reading the book to my toddlers but if your kids can read, definitely don't give them this book. I will try to return it.

I am the mother of a newly diagnosed 5 year old boy. After coming home from the hospital, we purchased this book and read it to him, our 7 year old niece, and his classmates. It has made a tremendous difference in his acceptance and his friends understanding. They now understand why he has to have an extra snack before recess that they do not get. They have even started singing.. "Bryson has to eat the right food at the right time!" The book also contains one page addressed to the parents that is very informational and to the point. This is a must have book!!!!!
