Learn the story behind renowned diabetes educator and speaker, Rachel Gifford. Diagnosing herself with her older sister's diabetes urine testing kit, Rachel's first thought was "Death makes more sense than trying to live with this disease." However, over time Rachel came to the conclusion that if she cannot kill herself to escape this disease, she'll have to learn how to live with it. And that is exactly what she did! Deciding helping people with diabetes is the path she was destined for, hopefully giving hope to people with diabetes and helping them adjust to a life with diabetes better than she did. A story of great triumph, adventures, tears and laugh out loud moments, this is sure to help you find your own spirit and help deal with the "wolves" life may have brought your way.

Struggling with diabetes in a western society can be difficult enough! Imagine what it is like for developing countries such as Africa.  Due to lack of awareness and recources, diabetes in developing countries is a creeping danger not anticipated until it reaches a critical level. The main intention of this book was to appeal to charity organisations to help diabetics of the devloping countries like Ethiopia by providing medication and testing tools to control the disease. Not only does it warn diabetics in developing countries to be aware of the slow killer disease, but also shows how life does go on with diabetes in a developing country and with the proper treatment, you can perform your normal every-day routine. It reminds us, that diabetes is a global crisis, and one day we all hope for a diabetes free world.
