Happy reading and coffee-drinking to you, Brian Bosh!Brian BoshDecember 31, 2013 at 10:42 AM
Coffee. But probably some ice cream, too!

Made possible by: Kerri Sparling (www.sixuntilme.com)
Why you want this: I've read an advance copy of this book (spoiler: I'm quoted in it) and everything I had hoped Kerri would cover about living with diabetes, she just totally nailed - like she always does. You'll find anecdotes both from her and from many other people in our community about how they balance diabetes with everything else: relationships (siblings, friends, partners), exercise, devices, daily life, college, you name it.
I can't wait for this book to be released - you've created a wonderful thing here, Kerri!
Here's the more official blurb:
“When a person receives a diagnosis of diabetes, he or she starts a process of adjusting and making sense of the new normal living with a chronic disease. A large part of that adjustment is figuring out how to balance diabetes with all the intricacies of a life outside of diabetes care. In Balancing Diabetes, diabetes online community blogger Kerri Sparling compiles strategies used by people with diabetes and their caregivers to bring that elusive balance into their lives. Whether adult or child, type 1 or type 2, spouse or caregiver, male or female, people in the diabetes world will find themselves in this book and be inspired by the commonality of that continuing search for balance.”
