Everyday Wisdom Kit

Everyday Wisdom Kit
The Everyday Wisdom ™ Kit is a tool designed to help families of children with type 1 diabetes live with diabetes everyday. 
When a child is diagnosed with a chronic disease like type 1 diabetes, everyday moments can become more of a challenge.
The Everyday Wisdom Kit helps families plan for everyday moments and events such as birthday parties, playing sports and getting behind the wheel.
The Kit comes in a reusable lunch bag and includes,
  • A guide for parents
  • A guide for the child with diabetes
  • A guide for the teen with diabetes
  • A guide for the sibling
  • An interactive card game for the whole family
  • An informational and inspirational DVD
  • Juggling balls
  • Emergency Contact Information refrigerator magnet
  • Pocket-sized Carb Counting Tool
  • Diabetes Dictionary
This interactive toolkit was designed for families of kids with newly diagnosed diabetes ages 8 and over.
Thanks to an educational grant by Lilly, the Everyday Wisdom Kit is available for free.
Order a kit online or call  (800) DIABETES (342-2383).
