The Unofficial Guide to Learning About Living with Diabetes (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These descriptions represent my experience and findings from living with Type 1 Diabetes, particularly with focus on topics that arise beyond the medical context of management. These findings are by no means medical advice but illustrate the practices I have found helpful in such settings. I discuss sharing the diagnosis with friends, integrating the condition into the family dynamic, triaging and participating in social events, organizing supplies, navigating the dating scene and fostering community. I also hope to share how writing has helped me establish connections and explore my personal relationship with illness.
