The Moose with the Pump: A book for children with type 1 diabetes

The Moose with the Pump is a story based on a boy who has diabetes, but wants to play safely in the snow with his sister and friends.

After discussing the issues with the visiting Moose, the boy and his sister ask their mother who permits them to clean up the sidewalks and play in the snow.

The book outlines some of the issues involved with diabetes care for a child from the child's perspective, describing cautions for low sugar, having supplies always handy and having other people who know what to do in an emergency

Presenting this book from the boys view in a poetic form similar to Dr. Suess keeps the story running but the material covered.
