From the Battling Books Diabetic Bookshelf, a few reading essentials.
Some of these you have seen here over the last few weeks, some are new to our shelf. If you’re like me you keep your library card maxed out and have a wish list on Amazon that is a mile long.
I confess while I read a lot of non-fiction I am a huge fiction reader. I’ve been searching for weeks for adult fiction featuring a diabetic as the protagonist. Have you read any that you’d care to recommend? I’d love a heads-up.
If not perhaps it’s time to write one.
The Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook by Lara Rondinelli and Jennifer Bucko (2008)
The New Glucose Revolution Shoppers Guide to GI Values 2008 by Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller and Kaye Foster Powell (2007)
Cheating Destiny: Living With Diabetes, America’s Biggest Epidemic by James S. Hirsch (2007)

Tina, a novel featuring a hero or heroine with diabetes is a great idea, especially in a Young Adult book.
The Carb cookbooks look great, even if you don’t have diabetes.

I’d love to be entered!
And Tina…I have a book featuring a brittle diabetic who loses her career as a government sniper due to diabetic neuropathy. The story is called To Govern the Night. I’m not sure if that title will stay the same though once it contracts.

Please enter me in the drawing, too. I am not a diabetic, but diabetes does run in my family and I am trying to stay educated so that I can reduce my chances of ever developing diabetes. Thanks Tina for a great, informative blog.
