Opis

""A great, concise resource for anyone with diabetes. An inspiring, optimistic and, at the same time, practical perspective."" Dr. Keith Ablow MD

""An irreverent take on a serious disease.Diabetes requires effort to control and to prevent complications. Though the goal to make your numbers (i.e., glucose, A1c, cholesterol and blood pressure) are important, you can be and should be more than your numbers and live life to its fullest as demonstrated in Too Sweet."" Dr. John Chip H. Reed III, MD, CDE

""I really enjoyed reading this book. Words and phrases that sum up how I'd describe it: humble, witty, candid, entertaining AND educational, and overall just fun to read She had me from the very start For me one of the best parts is the lists that are scattered throughout the book - of various jokes and D-Lingo, her loves and hates about D - and her use of humor to battle diabetes myths and misconceptions that permeate the world." "www.diabetesmine.com

""I was instantly greeted with light and humorous prose. After a wonderful welcome to a disorder that "is part of your life forever," I was reminded that laughter and a positive attitude are key to making life with diabetes more manageable. I was instantly sucked in and eagerly looked forward to seeing what the rest of the book had in store for me.""Diabetes Advocacy

""Highly recommended reading for a family member, friend, significant other or anyone you know who might be interested in the real life of someone who is dealing with Type 1 diabetes on a daily basis - a tough job. Gutsy book from a gutsy lady, lots of laughter, but the true facts are there. Great Christmas gift.""Diabetic Live
