Camaraderie is truly what soothes the diabetic breast. As I'm reading read through this book, my neck is getting tired from the constant nodding and saying 'Yes! Yes! This is what it's all about!' Who knows more about living successfully with diabetes than the people who have done it for so many years. After I've soaked up every word, I might be willing to share it with my patients.

John has had diabetes for over 50 years, so we totally enjoyed comparing our 'secrets' with other long-timers as well as learning some new tricks of the trade. Bravo to Sheri and Steve for telling the stories of those who face high risk and come out winners. We will pass their collected discoveries to others in our writing, speaking, and clinical care. 50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes has our hearty recommendation for the inspiration it brings to everyone who desires a long and healthy life.
