Diabetes Education Materials miracles happen

For a child who has just been diagnosed with diabetes, their world is about to change in ways they cannot imagine. Diabetes does not just affect the child but the entire family. Last year alone, Maynard Children’s Hospital admitted 90 newly diagnosed children. Diabetes Start-up Resources help newly diagnosed children leave the hospital with a healthy attitude towards this chronic lifelong disease. These resource materials include: two books, The Pink Panther Book, available in both English and Spanish, which is used during the child’s initial diagnosis as an educational resource that they can then take home with them to provide consistent information; as well as a Calorie King book that lists nutritional values for individual foods along with many restaurant and brand specific information. This helps families become familiar with carbohydrate counts in their favorite fast foods, pop tarts, a glass of orange juice and even something as simple as a packet of ketchup. These resources help start the thought process and discussion around healthy meal and snack choices. Also included in these startup resources are glucose meters, test strips and lancet devices.
