A diabetes diagnosis changes a lot of things — but it doesn’t change who you are.
Living With It is an honest, encouraging guide for kids and teens learning how to navigate life with Type 1 Diabetes. This book goes beyond medical facts and focuses on real life.
Inside, readers will find clear explanations, practical advice, relatable examples, and reassurance from someone who truly understands what living with diabetes is like.
Topics include:
understanding blood sugars and A1C
handling highs and lows
insulin pumps and CGMs
school, sports, sleepovers, and everyday life
dealing with burnout, stress, and emotions
friendships, independence, and growing up with diabetes
The tone is supportive, realistic, and age-appropriate — never babyish or overly clinical.
Perfect for:
newly diagnosed kids and teens
families adjusting to Type 1 Diabetes
diabetes clinics and educators
thoughtful diagnosis gifts
Created by a pediatric nurse practitioner and designed to help kids feel informed, capable, and less alone.
Because diabetes is something you manage — not who you are.
