"Live life first and be diabetic second." Sheri Colberg PhD, author of various fitness books for people with diabetes and professor of exercise science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA says this is the most important advice she has been given. Along with Steven Edelman MD, founder and director of the "Taking Control of Your Diabetes" nonprofit organization, she has written 50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes, a book that details how many of the longest living people with diabetes have been able to do this. This is the first book to profile people who have lived a long life with diabetes, their secrets, successes, and advice to others--including Gladys Dull, living with diabetes since 1924, Bob Cleveland (1925), and his diabetic older brother Gerald Cleveland (75 years with diabetes), James W. Quander, the longest living black American with diabetes (over 80 years), and many more people with type 1 diabetes and some long-living people with type 2, as well. Along with the authors, who have 75+ years of experience between them, they will identify the essential steps to achieving longevity with diabetes and group them into 50 user-friendly, easy-to-adopt “secrets.” Reviews: ”John has had diabetes for over 50 years, so we totally enjoyed comparing our ‘secrets’ with other long-timers as well as learning some new tricks of the trade. Bravo to Sheri and Steve for telling the stories of those who face high risk and come out winners. We will pass their collected discoveries to others in our writing, speaking, and clinical care. 50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes has our hearty recommendation for the inspiration it brings to everyone who desires a long and healthy life.” John Walsh, PA, CDE, and Ruth Roberts, MA, ”Encouraging, informative, and easy to read... this is my kind of diabetes book! If nothing else, you'll be delighted to discover how many of the secrets you've already mastered.” Amy Tenderich, Founder ”The advice that Sheri and Steve offer is excellent and will help everyone living with diabetes to live a better, healthier, and longer life. I would also say that much of their guidance would be well heeded by everyone, not just people with diabetes.” Jeff Hitchcock ”Camaraderie is truly what soothes the diabetic breast. As I’m reading read through this book, my neck is getting tired from the constant nodding and saying ‘Yes! Yes! This is what it’s all about!’ Who knows more about living successfully with diabetes than the people who have done it for so many years. After I’ve soaked up every word, I might be willing to share it with my patients.” Gary Scheiner, CDE, ”Most books tell you what the authors think you should be doing about your diabetes. 50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes tells you what long-lived people with diabetes actually are doing about their diabetes…Their stories are inspiring as well as instructive.” Gretchen Becker ”I thoroughly enjoyed reading this publication by two of my favorite educators. Information about the inspiring individuals with diabetes was woven in with the fifty great secrets in a very entertaining and educational way. I endorse it to teach, train, and coach those of us with diabetes.” Paula Harper, RN, CDE ”50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes is full of inspiring examples. Dr. Sheri’s early belief that she would suffer ‘inevitable’ consequences of her diabetes struck a particularly strong chord with me. Now that we have a plethora of blood glucose meters to help us control our diabetes, it’s so 20th century and outdated for anyone to believe that we are inevitably doomed. The comparison of diabetes with other chronic diseases is such an apt one that I am somewhat chagrined that I never made it myself. Indeed, diabetes is treatable and is more and more treatable all the time, while many other chronic diseases are not. This is another of the excellent and positive points that these two authors make throughout this important book.” David Mendosa, www.mendosa.com ”While at the University of Michigan we developed the notion of ‘patient empowerment’ and ‘taking control,’ which Sheri Colberg and Steven Edeman have captured in a most elegant manner with case histories of people who have thrived for many years despite having diabetes. There is no greater eloquence than that expressed by patients themselves. The eloquence of Sir Thomas Sydenhaus describing an attack of guilt no doubt derived from patients’ metaphors. Colberg and Edelman have nobly captured these.” Aaron Vinik, MD, PhD, ”50 Secrets of the Longest Living People with Diabetes is the Can-Do-est diabetes book you’ll ever read. Whatever your age, whatever your current physical and mental health, these vivid experiences of others who’ve successfully climbed the Diabetes Mountain will inspire you to get on top of the world yourself.” June Biermann and Barbara Toohey ”Inspirational—and practical. A must read that can make a difference in your life.” Richard N.
