A Type 1 diabetes diagnosis can feel overwhelming-but you don't have to figure it out alone.

Living With It: A Real Guide to Type 1 Diabetes for Kids and Teens is a friendly, practical guide designed specifically for young people learning to navigate life with diabetes. Whether you've been diagnosed recently or have been living with diabetes for years, this book provides honest answers, real-world advice, and encouragement for the challenges that come with managing a chronic condition.

Written by pediatric nurse practitioner Lisa Wright, this guide covers the topics kids and teens actually want to know about, including:

- Understanding blood sugar highs and lows

- Insulin, pumps, CGMs, and diabetes technology

- School, sports, sleepovers, and travel

- Friendships, dating, and social situations

- Handling burnout and difficult days

- Driving safely with diabetes

- Transitioning toward independence and adulthood

- Common questions about thyroid disease, celiac disease, and other related conditions

Throughout the book, readers will find practical tips, relatable examples, and reassuring reminders that perfection is not required. Diabetes can be frustrating, exhausting, and unfair at times-but it does not define who you are or what you can accomplish.

Whether you're a child, teen, parent, grandparent, teacher, or healthcare professional looking for a trusted resource, Living With It offers clear information, compassionate guidance, and a healthy dose of encouragement.

Because diabetes is part of your story-but it's not the whole story.
