The Book of Better: Life with Diabetes Can't Be Perfect. Make It Better.

I have diabetes. I ve lived with it for years and years. I ve done everything to learn as much as I can about it. I ve made more idiot mistakes accidentally and on purpose with diabetes than you think would be safe. I ve managed to stay very healthy. And by some standards, my life is pretty normal.

Throughout my extended career as a person with diabetes, the most important fact I have learned is that ANY BIT BETTER ( 3%...5%...28%...91%...) IS STILL BETTER. It might be the most important thing you can know about your diabetes. Maybe we can t make it go away.

Maybe we can t make it perfect. Maybe we re still mad that we got stuck with it. But we absolutely CAN make it BETTER. It s not always easy, but it s not complicated either. Diabetes gets Better if you make it Better.
