High Again

Diabetes is a disease that touches everyone. Even if you aren’t diabetic yourself, you likely know a diabetic, work with a diabetic or have interactions with a diabetic more often than you may realize.

This is not a step-by-step book about fixing your diabetes, but it is also not a boring medical guide. With over forty years of experience as a Type 1 and curiosity that won’t quit, Melissa Roetker has asked the questions, found answers to some not-so mysterious problems, and lifts the veil on what it is like to live with this sometimes life-or-death chronic condition.

Melissa exposes diabetes through personal experiences from diagnosis to trials of losing while traveling and more. She shares tricks she has learned to help deal with the disease that always seems to have its own set of rules.

Will exercise make blood sugar go up or down? Does a diabetic ever disconnect from their insulin pump? How does alcohol affect blood sugar levels? Why is pizza a big deal for diabetics? How can a soda order be a problem for a diabetic? Glimpse what daily life is for a diabetic, how a parent or spouse of a diabetic is affected, and become familiar with what anyone can do to support the diabetic in their circle.

High Again  is filled with answers to questions that you didn’t know you had or were afraid to ask a diabetic.
