Getting a Grip on Your Diabetes

Brothers Spike Nasmyth Loy and Bo Nasmyth Loy, now college students, have managed diabetes since they were diagnosed at the ages of seven and six, respectively. In Getting a Grip on Diabetes: Quick Tips & Techniques for Kids and Teens, the Loy brothers team up with physicians Janet Silverstein and Marc Weigensberg to help other young diabetics learn how to take charge of their health as they become more independent in all aspects of their lives. From how to recognize the dangers of a low-blood-sugar crisis to adjusting insulin levels while playing a sport, the Loys present vital information in a clear, friendly format that should instill confidence in their young audience.
