"Almost five decades have passed since I became a type 1, insulin dependent, diabetic. Those decades have allowed me to view the world from a perspective which is only truly visible to someone who is living with diabetes every minute of every day. That same view brought with it the reward of physical, mental and emotional experiences which only insulin dependence can bring.

Whilst others are able to advise about the effects of living with diabetes, their reality usually differs to some degree. Even knowing this, the concept that my own personal experiences could benefit others in diabetic situations didn't eventuate until my wife suggested that I put them all down on paper.

So, after more than a few months and many a corrected typo, here is the raw biography of a man who is still walking the tightrope of diabetic life.

I believe that as you delve into the understanding I have gained, you will discover at least one thing that will assist in improving the quality of your own diabetic life and those who are on this journey with you.

Hopefully like me, you find it is easier to get to your destination when there is a map to follow. I hope this one gives you good directions."
