The Blurb:
One family shares an emotional journey when their only child is diagnosed with "Type I Juvenile Diabetes" at age eleven. They are determined to find a way of life that does not involve multiple daily shots of insulin. This book explains the normal medical advice, but then provides alternatives and hope for those still impacted by diabetes. This is not a cure, rather a life changing look at viable options to avoid or reduce insulin injections. Is their story fact, fiction, coincidence or a miracle? This is a truly heartfelt and informative look at diabetes. It is a "must-have" for any family who has a loved one with diabetes.
The Review:
This book is absolutely amazing. It is full of honesty. It isn't everyday that people are willing to open up over something that has turned their life around. It's the kind of powerful story that gives you hope even in the face of chaos. This book really touched me because of the things that have happened in my own life. I've not gone through dealing with anyone with Type I diabetes. But my son was diagnosed with Neuroblastomia when he was 1.5 years old. I remember going through the tests and everything with him and thinking he was such a trooper. And I've had to deal with cancer throughout my family since I was a little girl. This book is inspirational, and real.
Not everyone has someone they can fall back on, this book helps people know that they are not alone. This is a great book for showing what someone might go through and that they are not totally alone.
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a book on Type I Diabetes and those that want to read something truly amazing.
