Product Description
Kids living with diabetes face a world of challenges, and yet, there are few things they can't do. This book is packed full of tips that kids have sent to Spike and Bo, authors of Getting a Grip on Diabetes for Kids and Teens. Tips cover everything from playing sports to accidents to hormones. Plus, there's an entire section on insulin pumps and what it's like to go on one.

This is a worthwhile purchase, it answers a lot of questions. It is easy to read and would recommend it to new and experienced diabetic patiets and parents and friends and families.
Good..but for adults August 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a good book with interesting tips and ideas for teens and college age kids. While the book does deal with the topic of drinking and insulin, it is not in a "lush/Greek chug" kind of manner. I don't recall anything about pot in there (especially in it being OK) but I would agree that it is more of an adult read. Once you have read it,then pick what you want to discuss with your children about the ideas from the book. It is a realistic look at how teens and college kids handle life with diabetes. While you may dream and hope your child never wants to touch alcohol in college, will dilligently change out their sites and watch their BG levels, we all know that in the end they are all possibly forgotten when having fun with friends, under the stress of finals or what not. This book helps you prep them and yourself for ways around these scenarios and how to deal with them. Better to be informed than in the dark.

This excellent book has been a mine of information for both my adult daughter and my three year old grand-daughter. Both of whom are insulin dependent diabetics. Although some of the tips are specifically aimed at Americans, or those with insulin pumps, the main thrust of the book is for all diabetics and their families.
Gave me hope December 29, 2006

As the parent of 4-year old recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes I was unsure of what her life would be like. This book gave me great hope that she will be able to live a very normal life. I found it very encouraging. Yes, all kids make mistakes and most make some un-wise choices. The Loy brothers are no exception and I found it interesting to see how they handled some normal teen situations. The Loy brothers are my heros and I hope my daughter is able to live her life to it's fullest like they are.
