Not the Worst Thing Ever

Not the Worst Thing Ever!: A Gross, Giggly Guide to Dealing with Diabetes

This book is gross. Like really gross. You probably shouldn’t read it if you gag easily. But you probably should read it if you are looking for ways to ease worries during your diabetes care routine.

It turns out that there are a lot of things that are way worse than checking blood sugar, getting a shot, changing an insulin pump infusion site, and changing a continuous glucose monitor. As the old saying goes, taking care of your diabetes is a lot better than getting pooped out by a great white shark.

With laugh-out-loud lines by Gillian King-Cargile and delightfully disgusting illustrations by Shawn Turek, this feel-better diabetes book will reassure readers that getting (or giving) a little poke is not the worst thing ever!
