Just got my first review for my latest book, 21 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Someone With Diabetes. It’s from writer Subha Ekambaram, who comes from a family of diabetics.

Here’s her review:

I can see that your 21 suggestions are authentic and heart felt, because you deal with diabetes everyday and your book is borne from what people around, do or don’t do. It could help others in similar predicament. I like the disclaimer that the book is not for meant to be a medical reference for learning to fight diabetes, so it prepares me for what lies ahead.

Friends and relatives, even if they are well-meaning, may not always know what to do, what to say or how to act to help a diabetic. Its important to know its about ‘regulating’ the blood sugar and not always ‘lowering’ it, which this book could hopefully educate non-diabetics about. Since most people blurt out things out of ignorance that end up being counter-productive, this is a good book that could educate the layperson about some common-sense etiquette, dealing with someone thats suffering from diabetes.

Thank you again to Subha! I encourage everyone diabetic to read this book and pass it along to a friend or family member!
