Healthing Article features DHF’s The Sideline Secret Children’s Diabetes Book
Diabetes Hope Foundation is proud to celebrate the launch of The Sideline Secret, a powerful new children’s book created by two inspiring members of our DHF community, Ravjot Samra and Aastha Relan — made possible through the support of Abbott Diabetes Care. This article from Healthing.ca describes how their work is helping young kids with type 1 diabetes feel seen, understood, and supported while opening much-needed conversations about stigma and emotional safety. It’s a meaningful read for Diabetes Awareness Month.
