The photographs on the back cover of this book serve as color commentary: In one I have an armful of a lovely little boy, born, not in defiance to the doctor who told me not to "spread my genes around," but in a joyful response to Life. In another, the Mickey Mouse shirts my husband and I are wearing poke fun at our turning 40, while they only thinly disguise the gratitude for making a decade milestone that some "experts" predicted I would not live to see. Most of them are snapshots of ordinary activites made extraordinary because of all the behind-the-scenes efforts those of us with diabetes experience as we integrate diabetes management into life.
from the Epilogue to Tips & Tales from 50 Years with Diabetes
Life is the ultimate teacher, but it is usually through experience and not scientific research that we discover its deepest lessons.
