If you want an amazing book dealing with Diabetes make sure you
purchase Phil Sutherland's book!
My dear friend Phil Southerland has just finished writing a memoir
about growing up with type 1 diabetes. In it, Phil tells the story of
how he turned his diagnosis and his passion for cycling into a global
movement to positively affect the lives of people with diabetes. The
book is called Not Dead Yet: My Race Against Disease from Diagnosis to
Dominance. This heartfelt story is sure to inspire and inform
thousands of individuals and families around the world that anything
is possible.
In the book, Phil shares many personal stories and the insights he
gained about diabetes throughout his life. His story begins with a
panicked trip to the emergency room as a seven-month-old, where his
mother was informed that he displayed the youngest case of diabetes on
record in the world at that time. He tells us how blindness, kidney
failure and death were all predicted for him by age 25, but by
learning to manage his diabetes from an early age he’s had a healthy
and successful 29 years and counting. We see how he discovers the
positive effect his perspective on diabetes has on the people he
meets, and what it takes to convince Phil that his message – that a
diabetic can be a successful professional athlete – is a vital one. He
recalls how a chance encounter with an anonymous man in a Starbucks
helped launch Team Type 1, which started as a cycling team and now has
grown to become a wide-sweeping organization that is radically
changing the lives of diabetics around the world. And how the team’s
global partnership for better health with Sanofi-Aventis is making a
huge impact on the diabetes community.
Founder and Director of Taking Control of Your Diabetes Steve Edelman
says: "Not Dead Yet is an uplifting and incredibly true adventure of a
young man who beats the odds. Phil is an inspiration to those who live
and struggle with diabetes as well as any individual who faces
seemingly insurmountable challenges.”
