QuickStart Type 1 Diabetes and Kids
Step by step diabetes education to help you feel confident caring for your child with type 1 diabetes.
QuickStart Type 1 Diabetes is a diabetes education course for parents and caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes who have been suddenly thrown into the world of caring for a child with type 1 diabetes. Having a child diagnosed with diabetes is a scary and overwhelming place to be. Learn the ins and outs of caring for your child on a daily basis. The more you learn, the more confident you will feel making decisions about insulin doses, carbohydrate counting, treating highs and lows, sick days, and much more.
This course helps parents and caregivers feel confident making daily decisions caring for a child with diabetes. This course is NOT a replacement for seeing a doctor. Do not change your treatment decisions until consulting with your doctor.
I was once where you are. When two of my children were diagnosed with diabetes within ten months, I was overwhelmed and scared. We have now lived with diabetes over ten years and I want to help you get to that "new normal" quicker and feel confident about the decisions you make each day.
Designed to follow the American Diabetes Association guidelines, this course is written by a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, Sylvia White.
