Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 1 Diabetes and Babysitting: A Parent's Toolkit gives you the ability to fill in specific information about your child and thoroughly train your caregiver. Information such as: * How to give shots * What to do with a high or low blood sugar * Troubleshooting pumps * Meal and insulin planningAlong with step-by-step instructions covering all aspects of your child's care, we've included pull-out pages for a babysitter and sleepovers.~~~Overwhelmed. That's the feeling of a parent whose child has just been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The days that follow are a blur of handouts, booklets, phone calls, notes scribbled after conversations with doctors and nurses. We stuff these papers into some sort of homemade binder or folder, hoping they will cover all the bases of emergencies and critical situations. The worst possible scenarios are always in the back of our minds. We quickly become experts at diabetes care for our kid, and things like "diabetic ketoacidosis" and "basal rates" and "rapid acting insulin" don't give us pause.It hits us: how can we possibly feel comfortable leaving our child with anyone else besides a doctor, a nurse ... anyone medically trained? We're afraid to ask someone to watch our child because of the complex care involved. In reality, we are asking a lot. We are asking someone to be levelheaded enough to make decisions about a disease that is completely unpredictable. On the other hand, we want our kid to be "normal" and stay at a friend's house. As parents, we need and want to take a break, but when you're afraid of leaving your child in someone else's care, Date Night goes by the wayside. How do we navigate sleepovers, day care, play dates, and trips to Grandma's house? What if there was something geared toward a teen-aged sitter? Or a grandparent? Something in layman's terms that a person not immersed in the world of diabetes could understand? Type 1 Diabetes and Babysitting: A Parent's Toolkit is the only comprehensive guide available that is user friendly and completely adaptable to a child's specific needs.Julie Marmon, M.D. says, "This book provides parents a method to convey crucial data and not worry that important details have been glossed over. The step-by-step instructions and flow charts with areas to personalize, streamline care and remove fear from a situation which may be scary for sitters and family members. Great work!"

From 2001 to 2009, the number of American children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes rose 23 percent; for type 2 diabetes it rose 21 percent. While scientists and government organizations assess the reasons for the increase, parents are left to deal with its day-to-day ramifications, and to guide their children through the discovery and treatment process. Jeff Hitchcock, the editor of this volume, was in desperate need of advice for how to best support his young daughter after her diagnosis. When he searched for support, he was shocked by how little information existed. So he started his own support group, Children with Diabetes. And now, more than twenty years later, Children with Diabetes has answered more than twenty thousand questions from other parents, gets more than twenty thousand daily hits on its website, and has a highly respected Diabetes Team, a wealth of on-call experts for parents in need of support. In this volume, Jeff has collected a whopping 101 tips for parents. The tips answer questions such as: What does the diagnosis mean? How do I get help? Should I change my child’s eating habits? What does insulin mean, and how is it used? And what should I tell my child’s teacher? For ease of reference, they’re categorized, so answers can quickly and easily be found. They’re also provided in simple, jargon-free, and easy-to-understand language.

Today is the day to start living your life with diabetes, instead of trying to live around it, and “How To Live with Type 1 Diabetes” is here to help. About the Expert Corey Reese was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in 2004. Having been hospitalized many times before discovering his illness, he is very experienced in being aware of, and remedying blood-glucose problems. His philosophy is that the most important thing a diabetic needs to understand is not how to treat their illness, but how to live with their bodies to the best of their abilities. Corey has since been trying to find new ideas and ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle without having to completely change himself as a person. He's found living life “pro-actively instead of reactively” to be a difficult but rewarding experience. Corey Reese's thought on living life with type 1 diabetes is that “the biggest obstacle to break through is seeing diabetes as just a label instead of a character trait, or personality defect. Once you realize that your illness is not just something to watch and fear, but also something to control and maintain, the door to healthier and more meaningful living will be opened to you.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
