caregivers of children with diabetes
"I have been absolutely thrilled with the dbaza software. My daughter has learned more than I thought she would. She is only 6
and has picked up quite a bit about things, and that helps tremendously when trying to explain why something has happened.
As a diabetic, and a mother of a diabetic, thank you!"
--- Mother of a six-year old girl in KY
"Our son, who was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, has really benefited from the CD-ROM. The way it is done has peaked his interest in learning, and the activities help to keep his interest and make it enjoyable. This will be a great tool for his sister to learn more about diabetes and a great tool to help his friends understand what he is dealing with each day. Thank you!"
--- Mother of a twelve-year old boy in PA
"Even through my son is two and a half years old, he really enjoyed it. He seems to understand a little more of what's going on. We will use this CD-ROM for more years to come. Thanks again. You guys are the best."
--- Mother of a two-year old boy, MO
"The educational CD-ROM is great. My son played the game at the hospital and learned a lot from it. His younger brother has also begun learning from it. I think it has been a blessing to our family. Thank you!"
--- Mother of eleven-year old, IL
"This has given Michael a way to show his school friends about diabetes. After they saw the part about sticking fingers and getting a reading, they were always asking him in school if his sugar was too high or low. It seemed that once the kids learned about diabetes, they were more concerned about Michael."
