Type 1 Diabetes: A Guide for Children, Adolescents, Young Adults
Type 1 Diabetes: A Guide for Children, Adolescents, Young Adults--and Their Caregivers

When someone is first diagnosed with diabetes, it can be an overwhelming experience. There is so much information on the market, and much of it can be quite unnerving especially if the diabetes book emphasizes possible complications from the disease.

Dr. Hanas' book is very light-hearted and upbeat, and emphasizes, rather, the means to manage the disease. Inherent in diabetes is the requirement that the patient manage his or her own diabetes on a daily basis---being his or her own doctor in a sense. This book provides the tools and tips to understand and manage the disease. A wealth of information, and an excellent resource.

What others say:

-"Dr Hanas'
diabetes instructional manual is well written, easy to read and understand. The book is filled with humor and common-sense advice which is practical, positive and upbeat! Dr Hanas includes the latest medical as well as psychosocial concepts gleaned from years of experience providing care to infants, toddlers, children, adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus aiming for the best glucose control possible. His approach provides information that allows parents and kids to take charge of their own diabetes care and slowly but surely become their own experts."

-"This book is wonderful. I got it shortly after my son was diagnosed and read it cover to cover. I was so happy to have a book with so much information that didn't make me cry from the introduction. So many of the diabetes books begin with a very clinical review of the complications of diabetes. I continue to refer to this book and learn things as I gain more experience with diabetes care. This is a fantastic book loaded with information, but at the same time it is not intimidating like some of the others.
Best book I have so far - great reference. "

-"This is the best book I have found on type 1 diabetes. I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 23. This book has tons of information on how to better manage my diabetes. I highly recommend this book."

-"It is very hard to hear that your son has juvenile diabetes. After reading
this guide now we're more comfortable and can manage diabetes well. "
