Even if I wasn’t
interested in the subject matter, The Insulin express would still have me page-turning just from the way words are put together. Part travel memoir, part T1D diagnosis
story.
The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom: Real Life Stories of Parenting a Child with Type 1
by Stacey Simms
It felt like a light
fun memoir read while at the same time helped me learn about T1 life, which is
anything but light and fun. It feels heavy, and I’ve had to think about maths
and death more often and more intensely than ever before.
by Gary Scheiner
So far we enjoyed/
were horrified at how diabetes was managed over the last few decades. It feels shard now, but we were shocked to learn how hard it was in the 1980s.
It also gives us the
why of managing blood sugar, something we do every day as we know we have to,
but this goes more in-depth , both how it helps us now, and also explains the
long-term complications in more detail. I think we are only in chapter 2!

Fun to read, but not all about diabetes so her highs and lows didn’t seem that intense to us. But the lead up to diagnosis was really great for us. “that happened to me!” And while reading it we felt like we had a friend who had T1D which was valuable for a newly diagnosed who hasn't met anyone in real life with the same disease.
