This book takes us along a path to managing diabetes under the worst of circumstances. Beset by financial ruin caused by market downturns, multiple job losses, and a bitter divorce, Author Gerard Gardner takes us on a journey that lets us see his route to survival that ends in a victory of sorts. More importantly he leads us through the everyday events that led him to the disease in the first place; something that will benefit nearly any reader whether afflicted or not. Diabetes: An Answer to My Prayer (just not the one I was looking for) (Gardner, 2015) is, as one previewer puts it, a book that "reads like a novel but informs like an instruction manual." Gardner is a regular guy who takes us through an interesting life where he unwittingly escapes a brutal death at the hands of drug dealers to escaping death that was nearly brought on by the disease itself, and everything in between. Gardner is a survivor and despite not having access to medications finds a way to manage the disease for nearly three years before getting the medical attention he needed. This book is a must read for anyone facing adversity through relationships, disease, financial hardships and intense stress as Gardner presents a sympathetic character whose visions and goal achievement will surely inspire you.
