Type 1 diabetes, a childhood disease that can have long term consequences for any patient's health, is easily treated with modern medicine. By careful monitoring, anyone can keep their blood sugar at a normal level. But it takes time and skill to get used to the many devices that help a patient manage their own blood sugar. Children in particular get impatient with having to go through tests and treatment routines when they feel fine right now. The best way to overcome this resistance is with good understanding of the illness and the treatment.

With this in mind, Dr. Kim Chilman-Blair and Dr. Kate Hersov teamed up with a leading graphic novel artist to create a series of comic books explaining health conditions to young people from a medical viewpoint. Each comic is written by doctors and peer-reviewed by leading specialists in each respective therapy area. Medikidz is a resource designed to educate not only young patients, peers and their parents, but also to aid practitioners and educators in explaining health conditions as effectively as possible.

The books follow a team of five larger than life superheroes from outer space. The Medikidz each specialise in explaining a different part of the body. Medikidz Explain Blood Glucose Monitoring is a fantastic way to demystify these handy gadgets and help improve any child's understanding of their role in diabetes.
