What is diabetes, anyway? Do you know?Rocco and his brothers didn't.
Rocco is five. He loves to play outside and is always looking for his next adventure. Oh, and he has Type 1 diabetes. But it's no big deal. Join Rocco as he teaches you all about diabetes, and you'll see for yourself, it doesn't have to be sad or scary. So let's go. And did I mention, there might be a treat or two along the way?
Type 1 diabetes is rising amongst children, and early diagnosis is crucial, as this can protect their organs from the damaging effects of high blood glucose over sustained periods of time. The trouble is that many people pass off the symptoms as simple viruses or bugs, and sometimes it isn't until their bodies are reaching the point of failure that it is clear enough to diagnose. Education will save lives. Learn the signs of diabetes in this book and tell everyone who will listen.
