Review: Perfect! - Bought this to give to my sons teacher prior to his return to school after his Type 1 diagnosis. Thoroughly explained what type 1 diabetes is, the different treatments (Insulin pens, pumps) and how his friends could recognize when his sugar was not in range. My son is in the first grade and I highly recommend this book to help bridge the gap! Review: great read - This was my personal favourite standout book from the 5 or so diabetes related books I have ordered. It is a simply written picture book suitable for all ages of primary school children that demystefies diabetes in a way that is cool and easy to understand. It could be read quite easily by the teacher to the class or by the children. The main character does not wear an insulin pump but he has a friend in the book who does so both insulin pump wearing and injection therapy are well covered in this book. I think what I liked best about this book is the ten top tips for teachers at the back of the book- this is gold and would make a great gift for any teacher for their classroom library. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #51,365 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #37 in Children's Diet & Nutrition Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 239 Reviews | ## Images ![Taking Diabetes to School (Special Kids in Schools Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gD8z08mVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! *by E***J on February 10, 2024* Bought this to give to my sons teacher prior to his return to school after his Type 1 diagnosis.

My son has been type 1 one for two years now, and off to K5 in less than a month - how scary! This is the perfect book to be read to his classmates so they can learn a bit about diabetes. The language describing his condition is clear and simple, as is telling a bit how he takes care of himself. It's very clear and reassuring to his new friends that he's still like everyone else, even though he does some different things. The book covers insulin pumps, too, which is great. We will be taking this book to school at the beginning of this school year - as well as many to come!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5275843-taking-diabetes-to-school-special-kids-in-schools-series](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5275843-taking-diabetes-to-school-special-kids-in-schools-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
