Description

A personal guide to controlling blood sugar levels with Type 1 or insulin dependent diabetes. When I was diagnosed with diabetes it was a massive shock. It took a long time to figure out how to manage my diabetes and during that time I made a lot of mistakes. There was education available but it was aimed either at ‘kidz’ or scientists. What I wanted was a kind of user-manual for being diabetic, written by a Type 1 who had overcome all the practical problems of managing diabetes but could still lead a normal life. Before I learned to manage my glucose I felt bad a lot of the time: a mixture of ill, inadequate, and isolated. It’s from this time that I take my understanding of why some people don’t like being called ‘diabetic’. I’d had some advantages that a lot of people wouldn’t have (my Dad is a medical scientist for one!), but it still took me a long time to take control of my diabetes. So to stop people from having to feel they were ‘diabetic’, I decided to share how I’d managed to practically take control and overcome that feeling. Joe’s Rough Guide to Diabetes is the book that I wanted when I was diagnosed. It tells you all you need to know about living with diabetes. The book explains the science of the disease clearly, and gives you practical advice on how to manage different situations – everyday, exercise, socialising, and travelling. Finally, it brings all this together so that you can learn how much insulin to take at any given time. Medical endorsements “It ought to be available to every young diabetic and be essential reading to anybody involved in helping young people to grow up with diabetes.” Dr Bill Lamb, MD FRCP FRCPCH “Joe’s guide embraces the concept ‘I am my own best doctor’…the book is spontaneous, authoritative, and most importantly real.” Dr Luigi Gnudi, MD PhD FRCP FASN
