Sugar Man. Everything You Wanted to Know About Type 1 Diabetes

Receiving a diagnosis of 'type 1 diabetes' is always a severe shock for a person faced with this disease. It is a challenging trial for every family that experiences diabetes, as the disease develops very quickly and requires the appointment... and lifelong use of insulin injections.
The good news is that when normal blood sugar levels are achieved, the risk of developing complications from diabetes becomes minimal.
This book is a brief and very visual guide on the steps to take to ensure insulin use is maximally effective, that meals do not lead to a significant rise in blood glucose levels, that physical activity is safe, and that any life situations (pregnancy, stress, going to a restaurant, installing an insulin pump) no longer frighten you.
