Readers realize that they can achieve their heart's desire and overcome obstacles, turning them into life-long opportunities. Through the characters' perspective, readers learn detailed information about T1D and T2D, how they are diagnosed and managed through medication, education, diet and exercise. The Kid and the Cat will assist children's understanding about diabetes, help them accept their new life style, enhance how they express their feelings, and encourage non-judgmental communication about their concerns. 9780965561938 0965561933 94 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=r_wQogEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
