Synopsis
From the moment her son was diagnosed with diabetes, author Karen Hargrave-Nykaza felt lost. Although there was plenty of medical information on the disease, she struggled to find ideas for managing typical, everyday activities. How would she keep her family’s life normal while addressing one child’s health issues? How much information did her son’s school need? Play dates, birthday parties, and her son’s developing independence also troubled her.
Faced with such challenges, and having no resource to turn to, Hargrave-Nykaza began her quest to uncover the answers. In a straightforward, supportive manner, My Child Has Diabetes shares Hargrave-Nykaza’s knowledge to help other parents in similar situations cope with their child’s disease.

How parents can be an advocates for their children and how school personnel can be educated about what having a child with diabetes in the classroom means were explained thoughtfully and clearly. This book would be an excellent resource for any parent with a school-age child with a serious or chronic illness. Although book reads like you are having a conversation over a cup of coffee, it contains a wealth of information and support.
