A candid, provocative, and moving account of one of America's
fastest-growing health issues
If you or someone you love has diabetes, you are not alone -- more
than twenty million Americans now live with the disease. In
Cheating Destiny, the best-selling author James S. Hirsch offers an
incisive, sometimes surprising portrait of diabetes in America.
Hirsch is intimately familiar with the disease: he has lived with
type 1 diabetes for three decades. His brother, Irl, also a
diabetic, is one of the country's leading diabetologists. Most
poignantly, his son Garrett was diagnosed at age three.
Hirsch draws on his unique expertise to provide an engaging blend
of reportage, memoir, history, and advocacy. He offers revealing
views of life with diabetes: the urge toward secrecy that many
diabetics feel, the everyday psychological and emotional hurdles,
and the perseverance -- even heroism -- required for survival.
Hirsch takes a look at the science behind the disease and its
treatment, and lays bare the impact on our economy, society, and
our families. Anyone who lives with diabetes -- or loves a diabetic
-- will find this book essential reading.
