Product Description Winning. Triumphing. Overcoming. If you or a loved one has type 1 diabetes, these may not be words you often hear associated with the challenge of managing this chronic disease. Type 1 diabetes can be endlessly frustrating, surprise us at every turn and cause us to worry on a regular basis. Like anything in life, if we let ourselves, we can focus on the fear. This book is about those who faced that fear, then moved forward. Type 1 diabetes prepared them for life's toughest challenges, and provided the ingredients for them to reach the highest levels of fortitude and success. The stories in this book empower us all to ultimately dominate diabetes.
