Type 1 Diabetes - A Beginner's Guide

Type 1 Diabetes - A Beginner's Guide is written as an introduction to Type 1 Diabetes for those recently diagnosed with the condition. It is written by a T1 Diabetic of 21 years and is the perfect 'from the horse's mouth' guide to what you need to know. This is not a medical journal or a book telling you what you can and can't do. It is a book designed to arm you with the knowledge you need to live the life you want to live whilst managing your sugar levels. A Beginner's Guide can also be a great read for friends and family of T1 Diabetics. The condition, so often misunderstood, is explained clearly and comprehensively in this book. It is written as a real-life pocket guide on Type 1 Diabetes and includes the odd anecdote from my time as a T1 Diabetic. This is the book I wish I had read as a newly diagnosed 14-year old. It is set out simply and covers all the questions you will be asking yourself. To name a few, A Beginner's Guide includes chapters on: - Understanding Sugar Levels - Insulin - Carb Counting & the Glycaemic Index - Exercise - Hypos - Alcohol - Advances in Technology - The confusion between T1 and T2
