What the book is about
Ever since then, sugar has accompanied the author through highs and lows, childhood, school, everyday life, and work. This book is about more than insulin and blood glucose levels: it is about living with an invisible illness, self-doubt and courage, routines and surprises. The author takes you along on his journey and shows how he manages everyday life with his insulin pump and what it means never to let yourself be beaten down.
The book is aimed at everyone who lives with diabetes themselves or supports someone who does. It aims to inspire courage, create understanding, and show that you can be strong even when life sometimes stings. The title sums up the author's central message: an illness that almost defeated him as a toddler ultimately could not keep him down.
