What it really feels like to live with type 1 diabetes-true stories inside.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or alone with type 1 diabetes, this book is for you.
Written by Neil Greathouse (@thebetes), Type 1 Diabetes - True Stories is a powerful collection of honest, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking moments from over 30 years of living with T1D. These are the real stories that don't make it into clinical brochures or social media highlight reels-moments like:
Passing out in front of a Bob Evans hostess stand
Losing a dream career to a diagnosis
Delivering insulin by boat deep in the Amazon jungle
Learning (the hard way) what happens when you don't bring backup insulin
Each chapter ends with short, practical takeaways-what Neil wishes he had done differently and what you can apply to your own T1D journey. It's not a how-to book. It's a you're not alone in this book.
Whether you're living with type 1 diabetes, caring for someone who is, or trying to understand what life with T1D is really like, this book will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and more connected than ever.
