Children's Diabetes Guide Book
Written by: Salwa Khaled Al Khalifa
Given the increasing incidence of type 1 diabetes in children, I am offering this booklet, which brings together tips and information for parents and schools to enhance their expertise in dealing with these children.
The book focuses on providing simplified information about diabetes, its symptoms, how children become infected, and the importance of children exercising to control their blood sugar levels.
It also includes some foods that help monitor high and low blood sugar levels in children. The author has included suggested cards for use in schools to identify children with diabetes. The goal is to raise awareness of the disease, ultimately contributing to the implementation of Vision 2030, developing the capabilities of community members, and keeping pace with the health renaissance the nation is experiencing.
