Your child has just been diagnosed with diabetes. Now what?

Let’s face it—being diagnosed with anything can be stressful, with a million thoughts racing through your mind, especially when it comes to your child. New routines, diets, medications… and all your child wants to do is just be a child. Throwing medical terminology at them will only confuse them more.

 

Sticky notes become your best friend—reminders to make an appointment, ask about something important—and before you know it, your wall is covered in sticky notes. Yikes!

 

That’s exactly why Diabetes You Got This was created

with Bentley’s lovable elephant friend, Toby, leading the way!

 

Toby knows firsthand what it’s like to navigate diabetes while still

wanting to enjoy life’s sweetest moments. That’s why he’s here to help children feel

empowered, not overwhelmed.

 

This fun, engaging resource tool eliminates stress and anxiety while helping families stay organized. It’s not clinical—it’s interactive, friendly, and designed for children.

✅ Coloring pages between weeks to keep things fun
✅ Visual trackers (like cups to color in for water intake)
✅ Easy-to-prepare snack recipes
✅ Appointment & medication tracking
✅ “Ask the Doctor” section—because we all forget important questions

sometimes!

 

This grab-and-go journal makes it easy for caregivers and doctors to review progress, adjust medications, and support children’s health—without making it feel overwhelming. With Toby by their side, children can feel encouraged, supported, and ready to take charge of their health in a way that’s fun and approachable.
