The Diabetes Book was previously published as "Living on a Tightrope: Coping with Diabetes"*******************************************************************************************************************Hall of Famer Ron Santo was a diabetic who starred for the Chicago Cubs in the 1960's. These were the dark ages of diabetes care, and Santo struggled with his disease in secret. His amazing story illustrates the unique problems of living with diabetes and helps show the incredible progress that's been made in treating it since then.One thing hasn't changed: old wives tales and incorrect common "knowledge" are so rampant that millions of people believe things that simply aren't true. This includes many diabetics and it's even worse among the general public. This can result in genuine fear, a naïve disregard for its seriousness, or anything in between.The Diabetes Book is easily readable and uses compelling real-life stories to explain practical realities to diabetics, those who love them, and those who worry about it. It inspires everyone - diabetic or not - to pursue strong, healthy lives.

Chet was diagnosed with diabetes in 1981 and has successfully lived with it ever since. Many things impact the blood sugar level that are out of your doctor's control, and diabetics must compensate for them on their own. This requires knowledge, effort and constant awareness. Chet shares practical information he has learned through his own experience, other diabetics and medical professionals. He clearly presents the facts for both non-diabetics and those who have the disease so we can understand it and each other better. Meaningful encouragement always helps, and this is one place to find it. The Diabetes Book shares the inspirational stories of people who have weathered diabetes and lived long, successful lives. It also discusses the world of possibilities for diabetics that was the stuff of dreams not long ago. More information can be found at www.thediabetesbook.net
