"... Perhaps never before has type 1 diabetes been presented to children as endearingly and accessibly as by Kim Baillieul in the recently-published Mommy Beeps." -Maria Muccioli, PhD - writer for www.diabetesdaily.com "I thought it was fantastic... the reason it's important is that we forget to talk to our patients about our families, and we especially forget to talk to them about their children. How do you talk to them about it? Are they scared that you're going to go low but they don't know how to tell you? So often when we talk to these children as adults and they say, 'you know i spent my teen years so scared something would happen to my mom.' This book is a fantastic way to get that out there, open that dialogue, and give the child a chance to talk about it and express their concerns and give the child a chance to understand type 1 diabetes." -Dr. Kathleen Wyne, Endocrinologist with Ohio State UniversityWhere does insulin go?
