 The
Discovery of Insulin: Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition
by
Michael Bliss Comments:
This has touched me the most - and taught me the most. It really drives
home the point that people DIED from this, and that insulin is a magical
miracle drug - but not a cure. I cried and cried when I read that book.

children. |

The Little Red Sports Car
by Eleanor Troutt The main message in this upbeat tale is that life with
diabetes can go on as usual – just with a few adjustments.
Comments: When our son was diagnosed people gave us lots of
books but the one that helped our whole family was "The Little Red
Sports Car - A modern fable about diabetes" by Eleanor Troutt. It
explains that you might have to do things differently but that you are
still the same person who can still enjoy the things you did before
dx.The author has had type 1 for 14 years and this book is the most
upbeat that we have found. Cynthia |
