Yerachmiel B. Altman's Blog: Education, understanding and comfort with type 1 diabetes.

I would love to be able to distribute these books along with a stuffed animal and a set of plastic diabetes ware – the child can then become familiar with the items, play with them, give shots to their stuffed friend, put the pump and sensor on them, etc. Once I’ve got the book itself finished and available I will be looking for help in producing and distributing these things with it.

Additionally I’ve developed a game (Insulinopoly) which covers the major areas of knowledge in diabetes self care well, but in a fun way.

I would like to do a version for each pump (showing features of pump that are different – for example CGMS integration) but so far have been unable to convince the pump companies (or Dexcom) to aid me in this work. Any ideas along this line would be appreciated.
