Dealing With Pricks... : Memoirs of a Manky Panky

by Sarah Joan

It’s taken me a long time to realise that I’m a freaking superhero. My body attacked, and killed, thank you very much, it’s own pancreas. Yet, here I am, over 30 years later, finally working out how to slay the beast that is Type 1 Diabetes. It’s taken me until being in my 40s to turn things around and throw a lasso around this bucking bronco of a disease and control it, instead of having it control me. This is my journey from childhood diagnosis, through life milestones and my ongoing battle with weight. You may recognise yourself in some of what I say; you may not. But, if, like me, you’re a Diabetic, you’ve probably uttered similar swear words and despaired over eye roll moments that can dominate our lives. Not quite cradle to grave, but more a memoir of diagnosis to completely and utterly changing my life, for the better. After all, as Diabetics, we’ve dealt with enough pricks as it is.

Low carb

I really enjoyed this book. It was comical yet deadly serious at the same time.
I've been told so many times "diabetics can't do low carb"
It's nicE to read a story about someone who lives that way because it works
