Customer Reviews

Happy shopper...

The book was in perfect condition and the shipping was swift. Would happily buy from again...

great information

This is a worthwhile purchase, it answers a lot of questions. It is easy to read and would recommend it to new and experienced diabetic patiets and parents and friends and families.

Good..but for adults

This is a good book with interesting tips and ideas for teens and college age kids. While the book does deal with the topic of drinking and insulin, it is not in a "lush/Greek chug" kind of manner. I don't recall anything about pot in there (especially in it being OK) but I would agree that it is more of an adult read. Once you have read it,then pick what you want to discuss with your children about the ideas from the book. It is a realistic look at how teens and college kids handle life with diabetes. While you may dream and hope your child never wants to touch alcohol in college, will dilligently change out their sites and watch their BG levels, we all know that in the end they are all possibly forgotten when having fun with friends, under the stress of finals or what not. This book helps you prep them and yourself for ways around these scenarios and how to deal with them. Better to be informed than in the dark.

Gave me hope

As the parent of 4-year old recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes I was unsure of what her life would be like. This book gave me great hope that she will be able to live a very normal life. I found it very encouraging. Yes, all kids make mistakes and most make some un-wise choices. The Loy brothers are no exception and I found it interesting to see how they handled some normal teen situations. The Loy brothers are my heros and I hope my daughter is able to live her life to it's fullest like they are.

Must have book for diabetic families

Thanks for giving parents and kids a practical book on living with diabetes. Bo and Spike show that there is nothing you can't do with this disease. Quick find index allows you to go straight to chapters that interest you. Check out music section. Very talented kids! Great gift idea for newly diagnosed families.
