I Have Diabetes: A Coloring Book for Children with Type-1 Diabetes

This coloring book for children ages 3-8 was written by Jaimie Wolfelt, a diabetes education advocate who was diagnosed at age nine with Type-1 diabetes.

Throughout the coloring book, children are invited to express—in words, drawing, and coloring—common feelings they may have after their own Type-1 diagnosis as well as in the months and years to come, as they learn to make diabetes and self-care an integral part of their lives. The friendly drawings depict diverse children and families as they interact with medical professionals and go about their days, encountering a range of feelings from confusion and sadness to anger, isolation, happiness, and more.

The coloring book emphasizes that it’s normal to have lots of thoughts and feelings about diabetes, and it’s good to express those feelings. The book closes with this affirmation: “I have diabetes, and I am strong and amazing!”

Sold individually for $2.00 or in packages of 25 for $30.00.
