JDRF Launches new pocket guide on type 1 diabetes

JDRF has launched a new pocket guide to type 1 diabetes. ‘Understanding type 1 diabetes, a pocket guide’ aims to address some of the myths surrounding the condition and highlights the distinction between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. JDRF hopes the guide will help to emphasise that the causes of type 1 diabetes has no connection to diet and lifestyle.

The pocket guide, produced in collaboration with the UK Children with Diabetes advocacy group, also contains information on the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes, the known causes of the condition, treatment and information, and advice on hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). The guide is perfect for those new to the condition, or those who are already living with type 1 diabetes who want to give information to their friends and colleagues.
