The theme of World Diabetes Day 2012 is Diabetes: Protect our Future, 2009 -2013: Diabetes Education and Prevention.
I have chosen my reading material to relate to 'our future' - children and young adults who may be diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2.
I hope that this material will provide them with valuable information about the disease and which will help them understand and cope with it.
This is my first blog using the title of 'Toffee Angel'. I wanted a name that would appeal to children and young adults and which would also alert them to the difficulties that young diabetics have in respect of this disease. 'Toffee' of course is a no-no for those suffering from diabetes but there is an 'angel' out there in the form of good diet, exercise and insulin.
I hope to provide, in the following blogs, a range of reading that will appeal and help in the management of this disease which is becoming more and more prevalent in children and young adults.
