Tina is diagnosed with Type One Diabetes and is scared and confused, which are feelings that are normal and okay. Mum, Dad and Tina are soon caught up in a new and scary world. It is a world of doctors, hospitals, medicine, needles and carbohydrates. In this illustrated children’s book, young Tina takes us through her diagnosis and her daily life with Juvenile (Type One) Diabetes, showing us how, with Mum and Dad’s help, she looks after herself and stays healthy so that she can PLAY, RUN and JUMP with her friends again.
