Last twelvemonth Lilly & Disney introduced Coco the Monkey, the outset Disney Character amongst Type 1 Diabetes too the book "Coco And Goofy's Goofy Day," a The Children With Diabetes Friends For Life Conference inwards 2011.

This twelvemonth the 2nd mass inwards the Coco Disney/Lilly  Coco series,  
"Coco Goes Back To School" was introduced at the 2012 Children With diabetes Friends For Life Conference a few weeks ago.

I bring to tell that I REALLY enjoyed this mass too I LOVED how i time again, diabetes realities were incorporated into the storyline.

This fourth dimension around our heroine Coco was nervous virtually going dorsum to schoolhouse too introducing her Type 1 Diabetes to her classmates - which is really very existent fearfulness for people amongst diabetes, regardless of the historic menstruum or the type.

But Coco's pals Micky too Goofy become to schoolhouse amongst her to aid too back upwardly her every bit she explains her Type 1 Diabetes to her classmates too answers whatever too all diabetes questions they have.

Coco has such a slap-up sense telling her classmates virtually her diabetes that she decides to motion into the schoolhouse Science Fair amongst a diabetes centric project. 

And patch I don't desire to compass the ending away, lets only tell that the fabulous Miss Coco & Company demonstrate everyone that living amongst diabetes doesn't concord her back!! 

With that beingness said, inwards the future, I'd similar to listen Coco could tell to a greater extent than than "EEK, EEK," inwards monkey speak and here's why.

We (and past times WE I hateful US,) tell everyone (both immature too old) who alive amongst diabetes never to live afraid to beak upwardly when it comes to their diabetes. 
And every bit people amongst diabetes, nosotros are continually told from the instant nosotros are diagnosed to allow people at school, work, at dwelling draw solid too anywhere else inwards betwixt know that nosotros necessitate to eat, examination our blood sugar, etc. 

Coco is an honest to goodness Type 1 Diabetes run model too I'd dear her to beak inwards English linguistic communication ( or whatever other linguistic communication the books are translated to) non monkey speak. 

I desire Coco to educate her diabetes vocalization too utilisation it, too then that others reading tin create the same - A.k.a, "Monkey see, monkey do!

In the end, expanding Coco's utilisation of linguistic communication is a Disney conclusion non a Lilly one, because Coco is a Disney character. 

A cutielicious, amazing, type 1 diabetes Disney graphic symbol who I love! 

So I'm certain you're wondering how yous tin acquire a re-create of the Coco books too the other Lilly/Disney Diabetes books too I'm going to tell you. 
 You necessitate to inquire your pediatric Endo or other healthcare provider to acquire your costless copies. 

 Personally, I'd similar to meet several copies of all the books available on the Disney's Type 1 Diabetes Book Shelf   available at unproblematic schools too world libraries.

WHY? 

Because these books are incredible diabetes pedagogy tools - too non only for children around the basis living amongst diabetes. 
These books also deed every bit global pedagogy tools to educate others amongst working pancreases to larn the facts virtually living the diabetes life, 24X7 too amongst no fourth dimension off for skillful behaviors, vacations or trips to Disney for that matter! 

Bottom Line: These books perpetuate the realities of living amongst type 1 Diabetes to Blue Planet patch dispelling the myths - And that's HUGE. 

I mean value it's slap-up that Lilly & Disney brand these books available for costless to Type 1 children too their families - Hence the whole getting through your healthcare provider costless of charge.

Down the draw I promise that Lilly & Disney detect a means to brand them available to EVERYONE.

And lastly but non least: I mean value Coco ROCKS & I HEART her! 

Full disclosure: I did non have whatever coin to write this shipping service or review the Disney/Lilly Books for children/tweens amongst diabetes that you'll live reading virtually inwards hereafter weblog posts.  

I did withal attend ( too on Lilly's dime,) the Lilly Blogger Conference at the destination of May inwards Indianapolis. 

At the conference I non solely learned virtually the history of Lilly too Diabetes, I was also given copies of the  all the books on Disney's Type 1 Bookshelf, except for the latest Coco book, which I was lucky plenty to acquire at Children amongst Diabetes Friends For Life Conference 2 weeks ago. 
And yours really has spent a skillful amount of fourth dimension reading,taking notes too reviewing said books too then I could get together my thoughts & written report dorsum to you. And you'll bring the chance to read those thoughts really soon. Including tomorrow, when I write virtually my sense inwards the kitchen "Dishing It Up Disney Style."
