Brilliant idea! Sign me up to help.

Agree that what I've seen on-line is generic & also appears to be written by healthcare people & not by PWD living it. Our voices would be more informative.

Thanks, Kristin.

What a great idea! I want to help and to be with you, Kristin. And as Sohair said , it could be tranlated into others languages. Ok, we can write about all types of Diabetes, but we can write a little more about the complications ; some ,like me and many others could talk about because we live with them? What do you think about that? And I find another thing in your great idea: with that "book" all diabetics from all the world could read it and have a better life. So if you want my help, please sign me up .

Kristin, this is a great idea.

What do you guy think family member, partners, friends, etc... "type 3"? I will be very happy to participate, maybe organize some interviews with family member, maybe include some essays about how diabetes affect us?
