TYPE 1 DIABETES IN CHILDREN: The Complete Parent’s Guide to Newly Diagnosed, Daily Management, and Long-Term Health by Dr. Maria Hermel

THE MOST COMPLETE GUIDE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER T1D RESOURCE: Most diabetes books focus on insulin and carb counting. This one goes much further, combining evidence-based medical guidance with deep knowledge in nutrition, inflammation, gut health, and the emotional challenges of raising a child with a chronic condition. INSIDE YOU WILL DISCOVER: •What Type 1 Diabetes actually is, the autoimmune mechanism, the honeymoon period, and why it is nothing like Type 2. •How to read and respond to blood sugar numbers with confidence, not panic. •Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia emergency protocols every parent must know, including DKA warning signs. •A complete guide to insulin types, delivery systems, pumps, CGMs, and closed-loop artificial pancreas technology. •How to build your child's medical care team and advocate effectively at every appointment. •The hidden link between inflammation, gut health, food intolerances, and blood sugar instability, covering celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and dairy intolerance in T1D children. •Anti-inflammatory eating strategies designed specifically for children, without restriction or food fear. •How puberty, growth hormones, cortisol, and the menstrual cycle affect insulin needs, and what to do about it. •How to manage exercise, competitive sports, school PE, and adventure activities safely. •Age-appropriate independence frameworks — from toddler to teenager. •Protecting your child's emotional health, preventing disordered eating, and discussing food in ways that empower rather than harm. •Strategies for school, sleepovers, birthday parties, restaurants, and travel.
