Tots to Teens
We produced our Tots to Teens magazine to help you take on the challenges you may face when your child is diagnosed with diabetes.
Written with the assistance of paediatric diabetes consultants, specialist nurses and child psychologists, the magazine contains straightforward, practical advice for a whole range of situations, as well as helpful hints and guidance from other parents of children with diabetes.
In addition, the magazine provides insight into some of feelings you might experience faced with getting to grips with your child's diabetes.
The information in the magazine can also be found in the Information for parents and carers section.
