3 What is Diabetes?? Diabetes means there is too much sugar in my blood, because I don t have enough Insulin. Insulin is made in Pete the Pancreas. When you have Diabetes Pete cannot make insulin. I must take Insulin each day to keep my blood sugars OK. 2
4 What I felt when I got diabetes? Thirsty Hungry I need to go the toilet a lot (wee-wee) I lose weight I feel tired a lot of the time 3
5 How Pete the Pancreas works in my body? The pancreas is an organ in my body, like my heart. Pete the pancreas makes insulin! I make insulin The insulin that Pete makes goes into my blood and keeps my blood sugar normal. I get sugar into my blood when I eat. Lots of food have sugar, like - cereals, toast, apples and milk. I need these sugars in my blood so that my muscles and brain can work properly. 4
6 INSULIN is like a SPECIAL KEY, This KEY opens the door to allow the sugar into my cells When the SUGAR (Glucose) is in my cells, my body will work properly Insulin balances the food I eat, with the sugar in my blood. Without my own Insulin (KEY), I must take extra insulin every day to keep my body healthy and happy! 5
7 Meet the Sad Cell Cells in my body are sad because they have no insulin - the KEY to diabetes 6
8 Meet the Happy Cell When you have Insulin - the KEY, sugar can get through the door of the cell and your cell is HAPPY! 7
9 Pete the Pancreas in my body! Where does all the food go? What food did you eat today and did it have a lot of sugar? What colour do you think your guts are? 8
10 Colour me in Try colouring in Pete and the other parts of your body. 9

16 YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: Can I catch diabetes? No, it is not caused by anything you have done or not done. Some children just get diabetes. Do many children have diabetes? About 2000 children in Ireland have diabetes - like you I ate a lot of sweets before I got Diabetes did this cause Diabetes? No, eating sweets will not give you diabetes. Who is to blame for having diabetes? It is nobody s fault that you have diabetes. Is there a tablet available to treat diabetes? No, not yet.. I am extra hungry since coming home, is this normal? Yes, this is because insulin increases your hunger. You lost some weight and now your body wants to get it all back. Will I grow out of diabetes? No, you will always have diabetes. With Diabetes you can lead a normal healthy life and if you play sports this will help control your blood sugars. 15

19 What is a High? (Hyperglycaemia) How do I know I m High? This is when my blood sugar is more than 15 What do I feel? Flushed Not well Thirsty Weeing a lot Grumpy Tummy pains Off form No energy Don t forget you may feel Normal! 18
20 When I am HIGH Blood sugar more than 15 What must I do? 1 Tell Mum or Dad first. 2 Wash my hands. 3 Recheck my blood sugar. 4 Did I eat any extra sugary food? 5 Did I take my Insulin? 6 Are my injection sites all ok! 7 I must check my urine (wee) for Ketones? 8 Drink plenty of water/fluids. 9 If my blood sugar stays high, I need to tell Mum or Dad again. 10 Recheck my blood sugar more often. 19
21 Ketones Ketones are waste Waste is found in your wee You get ketones when you do not have enough insulin Always check for ketones when: 1. Your blood sugar level is 15 or more 2. If you are sick or vomiting If you have ketones always tell Mum or Dad If you have a lot of ketones in your wee it means your cells are not happy and they need more sugar When you take more insulin, it will open the door to your cell and your cell will be happy again Lots of ketones Now the ketones will go away 20
22 Sick Day What do I do when I am sick and vomiting? Tell Mum or Dad first. Above all NEVER stop taking my Insulin. Check my blood sugar every 2-3 hours. Check my wee (urine) for Ketones. I need to drink lots of extra fluids, at least one glass of water every hour. If I cannot eat, I must drink half a glass of sugary drink. If I am worried or unsure about anything, tell Mum or Dad and they can contact the Family Doctor or the Diabetes Team at the hospital. 21
