What readers are saying

"Sugar Free Me not only gave me insight to the life of another young Type 1 Diabetic, but also helped me realize I am not alone in my struggle. Naomi displays courageousness and hope through her journey, and reminded me to embrace both good and bad things about being diabetic. I also know very few diabetics, especially around my age, reading this book gave me something else I was not expecting - a sense of peace and acceptance of my diagnosis that I didn't even realize I needed! " -Carrie Williams, diabetic since April 2004

“Sugar Free Teens is a great book for diabetics of all ages. Whether you are someone who has just been diagnosed with diabetes, or you've been living with diabetes for years, you will find the advice in this book to be applicable in either case. Naomi writes with an insight that comes only from someone who has lived with Diabetes, and has experienced all of the highs and lows that are associated with it. Sugar Free Teens is a great addition to Naomi's "Sugar Free" series, which includes her first book Sugar Free Me. Both books are excellent additions to any library, and are highly recommended reads.” - Mike Durbin, diabetic since 2008

"Sugar Free Teens is a wonderful book to read, whether you have diabetes or not. This book has taught me to live every day like it is your last and that you shouldn't care what others think about you. Just be yourself. Two thumbs up!"- Ryan Colpean, friend of diabetics

"Sugar Free Me gave me, as a mother, insight into what my son is going through on an emotional level, not just on a physical level. You are a very inspirational young woman, and seem very wise beyond your years. Keep up the good work!!!!" - Kerrie Smith, Mother of a 10 year old with type 1 diabetes

"This is a great book written by Naomi who was diagnosed with diabetes as a tween. She writes with a down-to-earth style that is very sincere, understanding and hopeful. If you know of a tween or teen with a chronic illness, (even other than diabetes) this is a book that will still have a lot to offer from someone who understands what it's like to have to miss events or adapt one's schedule to accommodate life as a teenager with an illness. If you are an adult with diabetes, you may find the voice of a young person refreshing and you may even discover yourself saying, "If she can handle this situation with that kind of attitude, so can I!" "- Lisa Copen, founder of Rest Ministries

"Naomi's personality shines throughout the book and I got a real appreciation for her and developed an admiration for how God has used her through the struggle. There is a real sense of triumph in what she writes. She also tackles the tough emotional issues of a chronic disease. She shares these very clearly, honestly and writes very well about how she has dealt with them. She writes in a very authentic way and uses teenage/ young adult language very effectively. Best of all is the overarching testimony to God's grace and her faith in Christ being the Rock that has sustained her throughout."- Fred Loper , MD
