by: William J. David, Ph.D
Living with Diabetes is like being sentenced to prison without committing a crime! However, the thunderous and shocking diagnosis of “diabetes” does not necessarily mean a death threat overwhelmed by grief, hopelessness, medical complications, and a reduced lifespan. Instead, this captivating account of surviving diabetes since July of 1938 portrays hope, challenge, determination, triumph, and the miracles of medicine. In this enlightening new book, diabetes survivor Professor William J. David presents a realistic and dramatic survival story. Even though bombarded by horrendous diabetic hurdles combined with challenging life events, the author unveils positive outcomes. A major reason for his diabetic longevity sprang from the miraculous therapeutic treatments skyrocketing from the advances in medical technology. Consequently, the author is targeting 50 percent of profits from this book toward diabetic/vision research and philanthropic endeavors.
Join the author as he skillfully unveils an autobiography of one of the longest diabetic journeys ever written. Learn how a diabetic lived a long and exciting life. Witness the volatile impact that diabetes thrust on the author, loved ones, and friends. Follow the drastic struggle to be “like everyone else”. Gain insight concerning diabetic management strategies since the 1930s. There is a bright future for insulin-dependent diabetics! Furthermore, modern technology magnifies the hope for finding a cure.
