My Sweet Life: Successful Women with Diabetes Review

How does one living with diabetes manage between career, family and a chronic illness? By living the Sweet Life. Beverly S. Adler, PhD, CDE and Friends (23 contributing authors) make up this compilation book about successful women with diabetes. This book is a collection of life stories each chapter written by a highly respected and successful woman with diabetes. The diverse group of women share their heartwarming stories and insights about finding balance between their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. For women with diabetes who need role models and a little inspiration... this book is written for the newly-diagnosed woman overwhelmed with her diabetes condition. Or, for the woman who has had diabetes for a while, but could also benefit from uplifting, inspirational stories to encourage and motivate self-care (especially if she is already trying to cope with some of the complications resulting from diabetes).
