Although the topic is difficult and the diagnosis feels completely overwhelming, Jessica does a great job of providing guidance from the perspective of a person who has lived most of her life with Type 1. Review: Must have book for newly diagnosed type1 child - Our 2 year old son was taken to PICU on December 24th he was DKA, it was extremely scary for me and my wife (who just gave birth to our 3rd son 4 weeks earlier). Neither of us have ever dealt with type 1 or new anything about it. Neither of our families have history of it. Not knowing what to do and being very scared I purchased EVERY book available on desertcart that talks about type 1. This book was by far the absolute best. Jessica teaches through her personal experiences and it felt like she was walking us through step by step. This book brought comfort to me and my wife and in the past couple weeks we have referenced it many times. It currently sits at our little station with our log books. This book is an absolute must have for any parent or even family member that will be assisting with a type 1 child. Jessica thank you, this book has truly changed our life and how we are handling these new changes. God bless you and your family! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #131,131 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #115 in General Diabetes Health | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 264 Reviews | ## Images ![The Type 1 Life: A Road Map for Parents of Children with Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q0N9q9ViL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent read for families of newly diagnosed Type 1 kids! *by T***W on May 20, 2026* This is a great read for parents (and grandparents) of newly diagnosed Type 1 kids.

God bless you and your family! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful and heartfelt *by R***N on November 2, 2020* I grew up with Jess and what I did not realize as a self-centered teen was the battle that she faced every single day. Fast forward to last November and my niece was being flown to a children's hospital in critical condition. She was in DKA with a new diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes about a month before her 3rd birthday. I purchased this book before we even were checked out of the hospital. The information Jess shared is practical, helpful and as easy to understand as T1D can be. Jess thank you for being vulnerable and using your difficult experiences to help others. <3 ## Frequently Bought Together - The Type 1 Life: A Road Map for Parents of Children with Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes - Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats for Kids: 150 Recipes for the Foods Kids Really Like to Eat - Type 1 Diabetes Cookbook for Kids: A low carb and delicious guide with over 150 simple and healthy recipes that children with type 1 diabetes enjoy and love. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/65363945-the-type-1-life-a-road-map-for-parents-children](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/65363945-the-type-1-life-a-road-map-for-parents-children) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
