Typecast: Amazing People Overcoming the Chronic Disease of Type 1 Diabetes
Andrew Deutscher
Winning. Triumphing. Overcoming. If you or a loved one has type 1 diabetes, these may not be words you often hear associated with the challenge of managing this chronic disease. Type 1 diabetes can be endlessly frustrating, surprise us at every turn and cause us to worry on a regular basis. Like anything in life, if we let ourselves, we can focus on the fear. This book is about those who faced that fear, then moved forward. Type 1 diabetes prepared them for life’s toughest challenges, and provided the ingredients for them to reach the highest levels of fortitude and success. The stories in this book empower us all to ultimately dominate diabetes.
Typecast is a book about people in the type 1 diabetes community — Phil Southerland and Tom Karlya, for example. I’m in there too. But it’s so much more than that. Andrew Deutscher’s journey in the world of type 1 began when his young son was diagnosed. Andrew sought to understand what that meant for his son and his family, so he began to reach out to others to learn their stories. Those stories are what makes Typecast so unique, and so uplifting. This is a book about thriving with type 1 diabetes, and it is empowering. Highly recommended. — Jeff Hitchcock
