Book Synopsis Reflections on a Life with Diabetes by : Diane M. Parker
Download or read book Reflections on a Life with Diabetes written by Diane M. Parker and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this candid anthology, the authors take you on a tour of their experiences living with diabetes. This is not a technical or scientific book but one that exposes the tender emotions of living with this chronic disease. There is humor, warmth and compassion in these poems and stories written by diabetics, their families and friends. Lisa Haynes talks affectionately about her mother's feet in her poem, "Feet Like Small Children"; we learn what it's like for a mother to discover her young daughter has diabetes in Anne-Leigh Parrish's, A Whole New World"; Wilson and Kartonis take us into their playful fantasy about food in, "Living the Sweet Life"; and Cheri and Jade Brooks give us different perspectives on the same hypoglycemic episode in, "Inferno," and "Mirrors in the Sun." These are but a few of the narratives you'll find in these pages. This is the first book of its kind to introduce you to the emotional workings of diabetes from a creative nonfiction point of view. It incorporates all aspects of diabetes, from diagnosis, to complications and, finally, survival.

Download or read book Sweet Invisible Body written by Lisa Roney and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, this vivid and often beautifully written account of the realities of diabetes (Chicago Tribune) is essential reading for diabetics and their friends and families. Lisa Roney was diagnosed with diabetes just before her twelfth birthday. This is her candid and exquisitely written account of how the disease directly affects the choices she makes every day, in every aspect of her life, from food and exercise to career and family. What sets this apart from other testimonies about living with an illness is Roney's remarkable willingness to reveal the usually hidden emotional consequences of her affliction: erosion of her self-esteem, feelings of vulnerability, the influence on her sexual choices, and heightened awareness of mortality. Full of wisdom, humor, and practical advice, Sweet Invisible Body will be welcomed by diabetics and their friends and families who have never before had a spokesperson as articulate, honest, and insightful as Lisa Roney.

Book Synopsis Adults Living with Type 1 Diabetes, Reflections of Their Youth by : Laura Nordin
Download or read book Adults Living with Type 1 Diabetes, Reflections of Their Youth written by Laura Nordin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic medical condition. Effective illness management requires numerous, continuous self-care procedures to ensure a healthy life free of complications. This study asks, what do adults with type 1 diabetes recall about living with a chronic health condition during their youth? By interviewing adults about the different types of relationships and the experiences they had in their youth, the research examines if relationships influence diabetes self-care. Using a phenomenological approached called the Vancouver School of Phenomenology, the researcher drew themes from nine participant interviews. These include: diabetes knowledge, the impacts of diabetes, constructive and deconstructive factors in relationships, and self-awareness and identity in youth and adults with type 1 diabetes. In the sample, this particular composition of participants displayed characteristics that were not consistent with the majority of literature findings regarding persons living with type 1 diabetes. As a result, the data in this study revealed that relationships, and being highly motivated, organized, capable, cognitively intact and functional within the realities of daily life plays a critical role in diabetes self-care and this role changes and evolves over time.

IS STILL BETTER. It might be the most important thing you can know about your diabetes. Maybe we can’t make it go away. Maybe we can’t make it perfect.

Download or read book Sliding into Them Dms written by Ewan Syazwan and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding out you suddenly have insulin dependant diabetes at the ripe young age of 27 may not sound all that exciting to most people. While everyone else in their mid 20s were out there realising their dreams, I found myself waking up to a nightmare. Not many fit, young people find themselves with an ailment to which there is no cure. You usually just, get better after a while. Despite this, life had to go on. This is the very true story of my journey. Blessed with previous life choices to be trained in healthcare as a Registered Nurse, I have spent the last few years fine tuning my Diabetes control. I work closely with the medical team in charge of me over at the Diabetes Management clinic in Tan Tock Seng Hospital to achieve my goals at this end. (Even returning as a full time Nurse during the pandemic.) Now, with all the knowledge and experience I had been graciously given the opportunity to acquire, I would like to pass it forward. As both a Nurse and as a Patient, these are my life experiences and learned knowledge. How I adapted to change, overcame this adversity, and ultimately converted that negative energy into something positive. May it provide comfort to those who are suffering in silence, and joy to those who wish to walk hand in hand with me down this relatively short but important chapter of my life.
