Come with Beamer as he learns how to manage Type 1 Diabetes from his friends Dr. Nachos and Emily.

With a great support team Emily has grown to be a healthy and happy adult. Emily and Dr. Nachos have great advice to share so you can grow up healthy and happy too! “Thank you so much for writing this outstanding book explaining day to day life with type 1 diabetes in a way that is easy for children and caregivers to understand. In addition, it is a great resource to share with classmates and friends so they can support their buddies. Although it is honest about the challenges kids face, it gives great hope that nothing is beyond reach for patients with type 1 diabetes.” B. Jill McCabe, MD, FAAP President, Medical Staff Medical Director, Pediatric Emergency Inova Loudoun Hospital “Emily and Dr. Nachos do an outstanding job of explaining what it is like to live with Type 1 Diabetes. Not only do they make the medical aspect easy to understand for all ages, they also explain the importance of working as a team.” Lindsey Waldman MD, RD Pediatric Specialists of Virginia “This book struck a chord with me because, when I was a young woman navigating the murky waters of type 1 diabetes, a part of me began to believe that I would never be healthy or strong. I believed that feeling good would never be in the cards for me; that I was doomed to a life of feeling badly with up and down blood sugars. That was, until I met an adult woman living successfully with the disease. She lived her best life, in spite of the challenges of this disease, and it inspired me beyond measure. Empowerment is the message at the heart of this book and it is what we should be teaching all our children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes. They deserve to be healthy and happy, now and for the rest of their lives, and they have the power to do it. I will be pleased to share this book with all the patients and families I work with.” Emily Viall BSN, RN, CDE Endocrine Nurse/Certified Diabetes Educator Pediatric Specialists of Virginia

This book is dedicated to my daughter Dania and all kids living with type one diabetes. As Dania started her first grade this year, she realized she is not like the rest of the students in her classroom. She has type one diabetes. She told me that she doesn‛t like it when the school nurse calls her to the office while she is doing something fun in the classroom. She doesn‛t want to answer the question that one of her friends normally ask her every time,"why did you go to the nurse again?". The purpose of this story is to educate kids about type one diabetes. This story is also written to encourage kids with type one diabetes to feel that they are not alone, and they are like Dania. The story also encourages students to support their friends with type one diabetes. Thank you for buying my book. I hope your kids enjoy it!
