Cheri Burbach captures the essence of a majority of people who know little or nothing about diabetes.
Millions have been diagnosed with diabetes, and have been the brunt of a comment or situation with someone from the uninformed public.
It not only comes from “the public”, but family members and friends who take little or no time to understand this major health issue.
The author simplifies the subject matter and has created a powerful checklist for the uninformed.
It is an easy to read, easy to understand guide hitting on emotional, sensitive and practical situations that we probably experienced ourselves, or overheard in conversation at some point
in our lives.
Have you had awkward moments with a friend or family member that is diabetic?
Could you have handled it better? This guide gets you there. More importantly, reading it can help you say the right thing rather than the wrong thing. Knowledge is power and kindness and understanding go a long way in any relationship. As a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I am happy to recommend this book. It sheds light on a topic that has not been addressed …It educates and puts responsibility on others. It will help many friends and family ‘step up” in the right direction. It offers a new type of “help” book…help for others! ISBN 978-0-9789747-0
