Raising a child is a difficult job. Raising a child with a chronic illness such as diabetes can be a difficult job with a side order of special challenges.

Leighann Calentine’s D-Mom Blog is an invaluable resource for parents and caregivers of children with diabetes. Leighann shares her family’s experiences with her daughter’s type 1 diabetes in a forum that is intimate, informative, and inspirational.

In a style both practical and affirming, Kids First, Diabetes Second presents Leighann’s advice to help parents and caregivers enable children with diabetes to thrive.

Review :
Yes! Let them eat cake and ice cream, too.
Kids First Diabetes Second is a fantastic book filled with great tips, suggestions and advice for newly diagnosed families of children with T1D (Type 1 Diabetes). I wish this book was available when my son was diagnosed with type 1 back in 2008. The author shares her personal story about her daughter's diagnosis and as a fellow D-Mom, her words, feelings and responses mirrored my own throughout the book. What I loved about this book is that it is real. It is a book written by a Mother's journey/life experience from before diagnosis to present day. The book was also enjoyable to read as it featured stories from other D-Moms, D-Dads and friends of the author with Type 1 Diabetes. The one thing that is perfectly clear is that despite the anxiety, feeling of helplessness and being overwhelmed initially, managing this chronic condition does become easier. It truly does. This is my 4th year helping my son manage his T1D and checking blood sugars multiples times a day and taking insulin is...
Kids, First, Diabetes Second Is Straight From the Heart
As a dietitian and diabetes educator I've just had the pleasure of reading and reviewing Kids First, Diabetes Second and connecting with Leighann Calentine (aka The D-Mom blogger) for a more extensive interview about her book which can be read at: [...]
With the interview I asked Leighann: In your heart, what do you want this book to accomplish for parents and kids? She replied: I don't want parents of newly diagnosed children to have to start at square one. There is so much more to diabetes management than they teach you at the hospital, like how to navigate birthday parties, sports, and keep track of all the "stuff." It's all the real life part of juggling diabetes. That's what I wanted to offer in the book.

I genuinely wish I could get Kids First, Diabetes Second into the hands of every single family at the time of their child's diagnosis of diabetes with my primary goal being letting them know that someone else understands exactly what they are going through. Then...
Great resource

As the mom of a five year old who is 6 months into a Type 1 diagnosis, I found this book to be fantastic. The book is the perfect marriage of good, solid information (both technical and practical) with the writing style and perspective of a mom. (Clinical and technical books have been great for my education of Type 1 diabetes health condition itself, but this book fills a huge gap). It was exactly what I was looking for, and it'll make a great reference and resource as we start school in the fall, begin sports, etc.
