In ‘Living with diabetes’, day-to-day essentials such as employment, driving, travel, and accessing healthcare services are covered, as well as special situations such as diabetes during pregnancy and childbirth. The particular concerns of babies, children, and teenagers with diabetes are addressed in their own section, which offers advice to parents and carers and also speaks directly to young readers. A final section, ‘Possible long-term complications’, looks at long-term conditions that are associated with diabetes and gives advice on assessing risk and on how to help prevent problems from developing.
