In "The Doctor's Guide to Diabetes and Your Child", Dr. Allan Sosin offers a program of vital importance to parents with diabetic children. -- This is the first book written by a physician for parents of children with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes that focuses on treatment and prevention. -- Dr. Sosin discusses the link between the dramatic increase in cases of Type 2 diabetes in children and the increase in childhood obesity. Today, 20% of children ages 6-17 are obese. Dr. Sosin demystifies caring for a diabetic child by giving the family an easy-to-understand nutritional program designed to minimize the need for insulin and to blunt the high and low fluctuations of blood sugar.
