The ABCs of Loving Yourself with Diabetes
Riva Greenberg
Have you ever wondered how you can live with diabetes in a way that makes you feel happy rather than fearful and frustrated? The ABCs Of Loving Yourself With Diabetes can help anyone with diabetes treat themselves more lovingly, with patience and forgiveness, and reawaken what they love-all of which can create better diabetes management. Within these pages you’ll learn “how-to” overcome fears, frustrations, guilt and loss and “rev up” your joy, courage and even pride. Riva Greenberg brings you the inspiration and practical insights she’s gleaned from thirty-five years of living with diabetes and her work as a motivational speaker and coach. These delightful drawings and powerful messages of strength and hope can guide you to create a happier, healthier life with diabetes.
Riva Greenberg was diagnosed with type 1 when she was 18. She’s lived with diabetes for over 39 years. In The ABCs of Loving Yourself with Diabetes, Riva offers 26 delightful, emotional, wonderful pages of advice for her “fellow travelers.” One sentence sums up well her perspective: “I hope in your journey with diabetes you will arrive at that place, if you haven’t already, where diabetes is a ‘comma’ in your life, as in … ‘I love my life, and I have diabetes.'” We should all be so lucky. Highly recommended.
