The Sun, the Rain, and the Insulin : Growing Up with Diabetes

"This book is a stroke of genius. Dr. MacCracken, a pediatric endocrinologist, has succeeded in writing an excellent book about diabetes in youth......What makes this book truly outstanding, however, is the fact that it is full of wisdom--wisdom which is rarely written down--wisdom that comes from working with, and learning from, children and adolescents with diabetes and their families over a period of many years. I highly recommend this book to all members of the diabetes healthcare team, to families of youth with diabetes, to diabetes camp staff and to interested coaches, teachers, and friends."

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Adults - How to become an expert on your own diabetes

The book is excellent and I think will have a wide appeal internationally. However, the book is not suitable for everyone, but certainly would be extremely useful to families and young adults who want comprehensive information and for nurses, general practitioners and other health professionals involved in the care of people with IDDM. Congratulations for an excellent and much needed book.
