Who this book is for
As the mother of a child with Type 1 Diabetes, Maren Sturny shares many case studies and practical tips from everyday life with her daughter. She describes different personality types and discusses in detail the generally growing need of primary school kids for independence. This understanding helps put the increasingly important independence in diabetes management into perspective and makes it easier to gradually let go of the kids in your care. She also addresses parental worries, fears, responsibility and the role-model function. The central idea is always that everyday life with Type 1 Diabetes is best managed as a team.
Maren Sturny writes in clear, accessible language—authentic, direct and refreshing. She encourages, touches and inspires readers and, as in her first book, offers valuable insights. On Instagram and TikTok, she appears with her daughter Nonie as the duo @diabetesbluemchen. She is also active internationally as a patient advocate focused on Type 1 families and is one of the people behind the social media campaign chilldeinevorurteile.com.
