In our everyday life, we get to meet many people from all walks of life, and make friends. We get to know these people mostly only in happy times. However, some people come into our lives, and allow us to have a glimpse of what their lives are really like behind closed doors.I have had the privilege of meeting such a friend. He chooses to remain unnamed. He has a very loving and outgoing wife and two adorable teenage sons. They moved into my neighbourhood recently.We met while jogging at the park two months ago, and since we come from the same street, we now meet and talk daily. We also do dinner together several nights a week.He is a type 2 diabetic, and one of his sons who is 16 years old was diagnosed recently with type 1 diabetes. Recently, my friend shared how strained his wife’s life had become, since she is the one who has to take care of him and his son. He has been feeling helpless and devastated, and more so because his wife would not allow him to tell her how sorry he was for her, even if he could see she was suffering.Simple things like what to eat, when to exercise and driving to the hospital can be very straining especially if you have two diabetics in the house, and with different types of the disease at that!I therefore decided to research on Diabetes, and primarily write this eBook as a special gift to my friend, his family, and anyone else who might be going through the challenges that Diabetes brings to our lives. I have seen a significant change in the social dynamics of that family as a result. They are a happier, positive and more confident family.I hope you enjoy it, and that you use it to help not only yourself or immediate family members, but also a neighbour or a fellow church goer, and all those people who come into your life.Thank you.
