Hi Twinnie, JDRF have some stuff on their site that might be suitable, although it is for Type 1. I'm sure I've seen some books for children somewhere - just trying to remember where!

The diabetes UK web site will probably have some info as they produce stuff for diabetic children, and the BBC website is normally very good with stuff for kids too.
