Produktbeschreibung

"Living with Type 1: My Story of Struggle, Strength, and Taking Back Control" Diagnosed at just 2 years old, I've lived my whole life with Type 1 diabetes. By 18, I wasn't just managing blood sugars-I was managing the weight of exclusion, comparison, and fear. Being an identical twin with the same condition only amplified those feelings. Everywhere I turned, I was being compared-my control, my readings, my lifestyle. No matter how hard I tried, I felt like I was falling behind. This book isn't a polished "guide" written by a doctor-it's the raw, real story of what it's like growing up with Type 1. It's about hiding at birthday parties because you don't want to count carbs in front of your friends. It's about being terrified of hypos in public or dreading your diabetes appointments because you don't want to hear what you're "doing wrong." It's about the exhaustion of living with a condition that never lets you clock out. But it's also about hope. Over the years, technology evolved-pumps, sensors, apps-and while they made some things easier, they also made me lazy with my care. This book is my journey back from that place: learning not just how to manage diabetes, but how to live with it. Inside, I share: . The emotional battles of highs and lows-and how I stopped letting numbers define me. . Practical advice on regaining structure and building habits that stick. . Real stories of learning to carb count, not perfectly, but realistically. . Tips on eating out, handling social situations, and rebuilding confidence with food. . A comprehensive look at how different foods affect blood sugar, written in a way that's simple, relatable, and backed by lived experience. This is more than a diabetes handbook-it's a survival story, a guide, and a source of comfort for anyone who's ever felt alone in their diagnosis. It's written for the teenager who feels like no one understands, for the young adult who's tired of the rollercoaster, and for anyone supporting someone with Type 1 who wants to finally get it. By the end, you'll see what I've learned the hard way: you are not your diabetes. Yes, it's part of you, but it doesn't define you. You are stronger than the highs, braver than the lows, and capable of living fully-not just surviving. "Living with Type 1" is a story of struggle, resilience, and hope-a reminder that even in the hardest moments, you are never alone.
