Excerpt from Growing Up Again:
Each person who has diabetes struggles to come to terms with it and experiences the basic challenges of the disease in a uniquely personal way. For me, it has been a trip through rebellion and denial to finally arriving at acknowledgment and commitment to solutions. It took years. And I still rankle at the restrictions, the have-tos, the may-nots, and the never-endingness of it. But the illness is what it is, and I thank God for the genius of medical researchers who have done so much to make diabetes a less cruel imposition while propelling us toward a cure.
I don t think the story of my life with diabetes is a model for anyone else. There s no template to follow that will determine the course of the disease and how it affects a person s life; no one right way to manage diabetes. What I have put on paper is simply the tale of how, in the course of everyday living dealing with the losses, the dead ends, and the triumphs that come in often seemingly random order I ve dodged, faced, and sometimes conquered the challenges of diabetes. I m sharing my story because it is what I have to give, shedding some light on the follies and achievements that I ve racked up in my daily confrontation with the disease.
But my journey is just a part of the picture. So I ve talked with other people who have diabetes to give voice to their experiences, to provide a varied view of how to live and thrive. And I ve sought out some of the wisest and most capable doctors and scientists who are waging war in the laboratory and conducting bench-to-bedside experiments that are producing new and exciting treatments to help the millions of people with diabetes manage and ultimately vanquish the disease.
