"They call it an autoimmune disease.

But ah-ah-ACHOO! That word makes me sneeze!"

Getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is no fun for anyone. It's stressful! It's full of finger sticks, needles, blood, and all sorts of strange words like pancreas, insulin, and autoimmune. But learning about diabetes shouldn't be stressful. It should be fun!

The book, "Was It Something I Ate? The type 1 diabetes myth buster for kids" helps take the stress out of learning by using a humorous approach to explain common misconceptions about diabetes. It explains big words with catchy rhymes and clever illustrations.

In addition, it offers kids the reassurance that diabetes won't limit them from any of their amazing dreams. It even includes a page for them to draw what they want to be when they grow up.

This book is a great addition to any library, but it will be particularly useful for recently diagnosed children, their family, friends, and classmates.
