For the families of people with diabetes and the medical professionals who care for them, this book also offers an insight into the life of a diabetic person. In this personal account, Deb Butterfield writes about the world of diabetes from within that world, telling the story of living with this illness, through progressive debilitation, until she was finally freed of restrictions and needles by a pancreas transplant.
