Have you contacted your local JDRF chapter.? If not, call them (look up www.jdrf.com) and ask about the Bag of Hope program. I am not sure if all JDRF chapter have this program. In the Philly area this program is great, you will meet a parent of a diabetic child who can talk to you about their experiences and you will receive a bag with lots of good stuff for the whole family. As I recall, there was a book in there written for children. Take the time to check this out!
By the way, I have a 16 yo son who has been diabetic since age 7. He participates in sports and all kinds of activities. You'll need to make adjustments but he can still have a fulfilling normal life.Health Question & Answer
