Jill McCabe, MD, FAAP President, Medical Staff Medical Director, Pediatric Emergency Inova Loudoun Hospital “Emily and Dr. Nachos do an outstanding job of explaining what it is like to live with Type 1 Diabetes. Not only do they make the medical aspect easy to understand for all ages, they also explain the importance of working as a team.” Lindsey Waldman MD, RD Pediatric Specialists of Virginia “This book struck a chord with me because, when I was a young woman navigating the murky waters of type 1 diabetes, a part of me began to believe that I would never be healthy or strong. I believed that feeling good would never be in the cards for me; that I was doomed to a life of feeling badly with up and down blood sugars. That was, until I met an adult woman living successfully with the disease. She lived her best life, in spite of the challenges of this disease, and it inspired me beyond measure. Empowerment is the message at the heart of this book and it is what we should be teaching all our children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes. They deserve to be healthy and happy, now and for the rest of their lives, and they have the power to do it. I will be pleased to share this book with all the patients and families I work with.” Emily Viall BSN, RN, CDE Endocrine Nurse/Certified Diabetes Educator Pediatric Specialists of Virginia

Their daily struggle to cope - which begins with that news - can never end. For parents, for the children themselves, all is changed. Some cope badly and suffer the awful consequences of complications and added misery. But some people have within them ... the strength to fight back... this book has been written by someone who is ready and willing and able to fight back, and I commend her for it.
