Product Description
by Jodi Velazquez (Author)
Some things cannot be taught, they must be learned through experience, observation, documentation and continuous research. This book is about my undertaking of trying to maintain good diabetes management and preserve wellness in a society of unhealthy habits and dietary temptations. This is a memoir of my personal 16-year experience where I was able to see and learn many things that most will never know. My task of caring for my young daughter's Type 1 diabetes became my mission to incorporate quality eating and healthy habits for everyone in our household to maintain well-being. I share some basic concepts that became our foundation for success and discuss the roadblocks to those concepts. There are great tips and unveiling information on how to help your child maintain good nutrition while in school. I also reveal an abundance of commonsense that can be easily overlooked if you aren't paying attention or have not done the research. If you were born after 1990, you may find some of the dietary information surprising as the historical comparison is certainly eye opening. Plenty of simple and cool dietary and fitness tips are provided as examples of solutions that helped our family. Much compassion is noted for anyone who is struggling with diabetes or weight gain as our busy world and daily errands make exercise difficult to squeeze in and fast food too convenient to pass up. If you are a parent this book is an absolute must read! If you are looking to lose some weight or help someone else get into shape this book is perfect for you.
