This book was born out of frustration but written with love. This is not just a regular book to read, it is interactive, there is space for your thoughts, wishes, likes, and dislikes.<br />As a mother of a newly diagnosed diabetic daughter I have been through all the stages, the initial shock, the disbelieve, the anger AND fury, the secret promise to whomever that if this could be just a temporary condition, I will do this and that I PROMISE!...then the acceptance, but I went further. I started to research frantically. I recognised and realised that I better face the beast that seen fit to attack my daughter, my baby! She is 37 years old, but she is MY BABY!...mothers will understand what I am saying here.&nbsp;<br />The little &quot;information package&quot; that we got at the doctor&#39;s office was useless. I wanted something that the whole family could use if needed.<br />Inside this book you, and if you like even your family, can make notes on the subjects right below it. Use this book not just as a guide about your food, but also as writing therapy and maybe even as a messenger like : &quot;I like cashew, but I don&#39;t like peanuts&quot; as a message for your husband, or just to VENT. For real! That can be therapeutic as well.<br />Use this book to conquer the beast however you like!&nbsp;<br />Tell the beast &quot;THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER! I&#39;M COMING FOR YOU!&quot;<br /><br />Elisabeth Erde
