Industry Reviews

Debbie has diabetes and she want to tell us what it is like...She explains exactly what type 1 diabetes is and how to recognise the signs... At the end of the book there is information about how friends, teachers and family can help. The black and white illustrations help the information along too, and there is a comprehensive list of international help organisations. An excellent introduction to an often quite complicated lifestyle that Debbie accepts as natural.
