Publisher's Synopsis
Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which people suffer because of the inappropriately increased levels of blood sugar in their body. More than 530 million adults, between the ages of 20 and 80 years, currently live with this disease. It is one of the fastest growing afflictions in the world, and each year, about 7 million people are added to the list of diabetics. The three culprits for the increasing incidence of diabetes can be summarized as obesity, weight gain, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
This book aims to recount the journey of the author through the highs and lows of living with the uninvited "third partner" diabetes. It is a story of resilience, growth, and the remarkable ability of the human spirit to adapt to the unexpected. While navigating the complexities of life, both personally and professionally, the author and her partner discovered invaluable lessons that transformed them in ways they never thought possible.
Personal anecdotes, interlaced with easy to comprehend lessons on diabetes, give this book a unique perspective.
