Diary for learning to know, deal with and manage the pathology of diabetes.
Senza zucchero is a pre-compiled diary which has the fundamental role to know, deal with and manage the pathology of diabetes.
This is divided in three pars: the first one — 01. Discover — is dedicated to the patient, with an age target between 6 - 10 years old. It can explores personal elements about patient as a person, as a part of a group and as a diabetic. The second part — 02. Recongnize — is dedicated to the patient’s parents. A detailed guide of what the pathology is, how to know it, treat it and manage it better.
The last part — 03. Understand — is dedicated to the psychologist. In this part there are some basic documents usually used in the profession of psychology (like anamnesis, clinical diary, ...) but taking into consideration the patient’s world. They have been designed some methods to make involved and not inactive the kids.
The purpose of the project is find a meeting point, semplify what is the hardest thing to do in the pathology: talking about. Through the method that the child will find appropriate, he will succeed, with the “steered” questions and specifically studied, to externalize parts of himself, thoughts and reasoning that maybe he is not yet aware of having developed.
These documents will be fundamental to the psychologist as he will succeed to focalized the analysis, understand who is the patient, play and discover how solve some trouble.
The parents have the possibility to understand whats is going on to their child avoiding unpleasant situations.
Concluding, this project will be something fresh than the thousand pamphlets that surround the world of diabetes that present a neutral and often ineffective information.
I think that the design service in medical field is necessary for semplify, translate and making visually more captivating a reality that lacks in this.
Senza zucchero has the potential to enter the diabetology wards, in the lives of all those who have found themselves in a condition of cohabitation with a disease along with all the tools that a diabetic is obliged to carry with him. But this diary will have the appearance of something “good”, fun and secret.
I would have liked to meet Senza zucchero 12 years ago.
01. Discover
02. Recongnize
In this part we have the specific guide for the parent about diabetes, the closeup about the design of notes and the glossary in the end for all the "specific" words.
"Recongnize" is interspersed also by a Timeline about the developments in research and by some specific schemes for abstract concepts of pathology.

03. Understand
in this part the instrument of self-assessment by the child with the psychologist comes into play. This will happen through the stickers.
I'm diabetic since 2006 and I learned that asking for help is important, very important. So, my project "Senza Zucchero", will be a support for help.
Because every diabetic (and more) need space, people who hold him, someone who listen and, above all, someone treat him like a normal person.
