The number of children with Type 1 diabetes is steadily increasing, and while research continues to search for a cure, the expectation is that those afflicted should enjoy a long life and healthy lifestyle. Medical research has conclusively proved that looking after your own diabetes - and keeping your blood glucose level down - is the key to avoiding the pitfalls and long-term risks.

This book provides readers with a compelling case for the inclusion of contextual therapy in comprehensive healthcare settings by presenting its applications to individual and family health across the lifespan. Part I gives an overview of contextual therapy, including case conceptualization, assessment, intervention, and supervision. Part II provides specific recommendations for incorporating contextual therapy in diverse and multidisciplinary settings. Case studies illustrate how concepts such as justice, loyalty, and balanced giving and receiving influence families’ adjustment to chronic illnesses and mental health disorders. Accounting for the trend toward increased collaboration between providers in traditional mental health and medical settings, this book will empower clinicians to expand their current range of assessment methods, intervention techniques, and supervision experiences

This book is written to motivate diabetics, and to give their parents, families, partners and friends an insight into what their beloved diabetic thinks, and how she/he feels. Story-tellers are 6 different people who have been living with diabetes for decades, and regardless of diabetes, today as adults, live fulfilling and quality lives; work, travel, and have families of their own. First story is told by a young and successful thirty-year-old woman who describes her path: her parents' attitude to diabetes and the way it shaped her attitude in adulthood. The story of the stigmatization of children with diabetes, falling in love, going out in the evening ... and finally, pregnancy with diabetes.Second story is telling us that despite growing up in a completely dysfunctional family, a child with diabetes can grow into a healthy, responsible and positive person.Third story is told from a male angle, and is more systematic and less emotionally charged. Perspective of a 40-year-old man who got diabetes when he was a baby, is very different from the previous ones, although the problem is the same. He also describes the attitude of his parents, but he also talks about his work, and his colleagues' attitude towards his diabetes. He specifically referred to the pharmaceutical industry and alternative medicine.Fourth story is told by a woman who, at a certain point in her life, was completely dependent on others, and unable to cope with the challenges of adulthood with diabetes. This is a person who developed chronic complications of diabetes, so in this book she describes the attitude towards that fact as well. Particularly interesting in this story is her experience with falling in love and choosing a life partner, and how diabetes affected her love life.Fifth story teller is a young man who got diabetes during the period of adolescence. He gives us an insight into the feelings of a 16-year-old diabetes patient who cannot cope with the challenges that diabetes brings, and just wants to be a normal teenager. Sixth story is told by a mother of a child with Type 1 diabetes. Positive and inspiring, her thoughts, attitudes and actions should help other parents of children with diabetes to find their own path of dealing with diabetes. Through these true life stories of six real people who have been living well with diabetes for several decades, you will encounter topics such as building responsibility of children with diabetes and strength of adult character, falling in love, obsessions, overriding fears, priorities, awareness of human life span, "otherness", "caring", living by someone else's or own rules, desire for healing, self-understanding, self-worth, burnout, not accepting diabetes, feeling guilty, and many others.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER One of the NHL’s most talented young stars shares his inspiring coming-of-age story about following his dreams after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. “Max, you have type 1 diabetes,” the doctor said. My mom and I looked at each other. For her, time stood still for a second as our entire future as a family shifted. But I had no clue what the diagnosis meant. So I said the first thing that came to mind. “Can I still play hockey?” As a kid, when Max Domi was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he only ever had one answer: a hockey player. Growing up the son of a professional hockey player, Max saw from an early age what it took to make the NHL: grit, talent, and the support of a team. Over countless hours in the garage, at the rink, and in the gym, Max chased his dream. It seemed that Max was born to be on the ice. But then, when he was twelve years old, Max started getting sick. And sicker. Finally, he and his family learned the awful truth: Max had type 1 diabetes. Overnight, Max and his family found their lives upended. All Max wanted was to be a normal kid, but suddenly, the simplest things—a game of basketball with friends, a family meal, a school field trip—were complicated with a thousand different considerations. Would people notice or make fun of him if he carried his blood-testing kit everywhere? Would his teammates think he was weak if his blood sugar went low at hockey practice? How much insulin did he need after a meal? And all the while, the fear of what might happen if things went wrong hung over his head. Max had to grow up quickly. As he struggled to find his new normal, Max slowly began to realize that overcoming his disease demanded the same qualities that it took to be a hockey player—mental and physical toughness, maturity, and the love and care of family and friends. Bit by bit, he learned—sometimes the hard way—not just to control his diabetes, but to turn it into an advantage. If managing his disease was going to demand that Max be stronger, more prepared, and more disciplined than anyone else, then he wouldn’t just be good at those things: he’d be the best. He’d do whatever it took to move himself closer to his dream of playing in the NHL. Inspiring, heartwarming, and exciting, No Days Off is a memoir about what it’s like to be a kid whose world is turned upside down, and what it takes to face adversity.
