I have spent the last 20 years helping patients to manage diabetes as a Clinical Endocrinologist and have seen first hand the challenges a diabetic patient has to face over their lifetime. My passion to help people with diabetes was further ignited, fueled, and intensified after I lost my own father from complications of diabetes in 2012. His death inspired me to create this resource so that others do not have to watch their loved ones suffer.
I have no doubt that this book will serve as your companion and guide in understanding and managing your diabetes, or helping a loved one who is struggling with diabetes. All suggestions discussed in this book are based on current guidelines and research from the American Diabetes Associatio
