“I have been using Legacy Products for some time now. Children with newly diagnosed diabetes find the MediKin™ to be a wonderful friend. It is one of our most effective teaching tools to show young children about injection sites, the pancreas and its location, and blood testing. Children are able to change the facial expressions of the doll to describe their own feelings. We also change the hair and clothes to look similar to the child. Parents have said that giving the MediKin™ the injection first before giving their child an injection, makes the task a lot easier.”

“Kids are less fearful because they feel more in control after having played with the MediKin™ teaching aide. Their understanding is much better after playing through…‘If I can do it to the doll, then someone else can do it to me too."
