Valuable tips, tricks, and advice from a veteran young adult with
Type 1 diabetes. Essential reading for parents and children! Type 1
diabetes (T1D) can be a daunting diagnosis, especially for a young
kid or a teen. Patrick McAllister knows. Diagnosed with T1D at age
twelve, McAllister's life changed forever, and he faced an
uncertain future of insulin shots, diet regulations, and high
school. If only I had a roadmap, he thought. So, years after he
learned things the hard way, he decided to write one. Whether it is
managing mood swings, hormones, or blood sugar levels, Highs &
Lows of Type 1 Diabetes is the ultimate teenager's and young
adult's handbook for surviving, thriving, and flourishing with T1D
during one of the most terrifying, yet exciting, phases of your
life. Many think of T1D as a scary disease that is sporadic and
uncontrollable, but after eight years of dealing with the literal
and figurative highs and lows of T1D, McAllister has learned that
it is more a lifestyle change. These pages detail a framework for
every situation you could possibly imagine involving T1D, from
coming home from the hospital after your diagnosis to preparing to
leave your nest for freshman year at college. Learn how to: Count
carbohydrates, pump insulin like a pro, and correct irregular blood
sugar levels Tell your friends, get good grades, and survive school
Play sports with the right game-plan Navigate sex, drugs, and rock
'n' roll And more! Type 1 diabetes stinks, but you don't have to go
through it blind and alone! Some have learned it the hard way, but
Highs & Lows of Type 1 Diabetes will ensure that you will take
control of your T1D diagnosis, conquer your adolescent years, and
live a healthy and fulfilling life.
