A taste of Sugar Free Me...

"Ever since I was diagnosed I've had this idea of the perfect diabetic book for teens. I already know the definition of diabetes and frankly I'm tired of reading books that explain what's going on in my body; but very little about my mind."

"Through all of the shock and confusion and learning new things; I made a deliberate choice to be positive. As weary as I was, I was okay with it."

"Diabetes has taught me so much about living a life that really means something."

"I got a lot of assurance and support from the people around me when I shared about my health. And that alone made my journey a heck of a lot easier."

"My desire is that in a way I can make the voice of every diabetic teenager a little louder in the world today."
