Danny the Diabetic Dinosaur

By Emily E Welch

Danny Dino has juvenile diabetes. After visiting Dr. Rex, Danny goes on a learning adventure stopping at a farm, several markets, the gym, a candy store and many other places to find out more about how to manage his type 1 diabetes. Along his journey, Danny learns the foods he should eat, how to safely exercise, and the benefits of journaling his meals. Dr. Rex easily teaches Danny and his mother about the roles of insulin and glucose in Danny's body. Danny bravely learns about finger pricklies and how to use his dinomatic sugar reader. Eventually, Danny feels better and receives an insulin pump to help manage his diabetes. All of Danny's friends in Dinoland come together to teach Danny that he can live a happy and healthy life with diabetes.

Danny the Diabetic Dinosaur is a fantastic resource for parents, teachers, and healthcare workers trying to help children grasp the complex concepts of type 1 diabetes. Danny is the perfect friend to invite into your home, classroom, or office to help answer the many questions that children have about their diabetes, or their friend's diabetes. By reading Danny the Diabetic Dinosaur together, adults and kids can learn about diabetes in a fun and interactive way.
