Understanding Diabetes book (aka The Pink Panther book)

There is a great book that many parents get when their children are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Most refer to it as the “Pink Panther book” because of the cover. It is written in easy to understand terms, even younger children can understand it.

We didn’t get this book at diagnosis, but I sure wish we had! I heard about it from an online Parents Message Board, which I didn’t find until about 19 months after my son was diagnosed. After we changed to a new endocrinologist, we were given a copy of the book.

I have since found the complete book online in PDF form, so if you want, you can go to this website and open each chapter and read it online, or save it to your computer.
