Yes, you can! - Loskarjova, Kristina

. .

Résumé :
[COLOUR VERSION] In this empowering book, Kristina Loskarjova turns discouraging views of Type 1 on their head and shows that having the condition is, in fact, an advantage. Kristina interviewed inspiring individuals of various professions across Australia, Brazil, several European countries including the UK, Russia and the USA. Among them are champion sportspeople, astronauts, celebrities, actors and everyday individuals who all live happy lives with diabetes and show us that even the sky is not the limit. Each of the contributors have fantastic and moving stories which prove that Type 1s can do anything, from eating what they want to undertaking challenging adventures to pursuing the most active sports. Yes, you can! covers everything from dealing with the initial diagnosis to tackling how to tell others to eating in and out. It also looks at activities, travelling, confidence, careers and nights out with friends, all from the point of view of how much Type 1s can do, not how little. To complete the picture, the concluding chapter offers advice from experienced parents on how to encourage children and teenagers with Type 1 to live active, independent lives. Most of all, Yes, you can! shows that Type 1 is not a big deal. If we remember the great things it has taught us, it feels like a superpower. The cost of this superpower is daily monitoring, constant concentration and inhuman responsibility. No holidays, no days off. But hey, isn't that just what the life of a superhero is like?...
