In this book Yoga teacher and Type 1 Diabetic Rachel Zinman shares short essays on her feelings and thoughts about yoga and diabetes during her first year on insulin. She never realized how much insulin would change her life and how much yoga has continued to be a lifeline as she navigates the rollercoaster of this disease.

At diagnosis she was in such a state that she refused to believe that the cause of her diabetes was autoimmune. She kept insisting it was type 2 or some mistake. She searched for answers in alternative healing modalities and although she had some success she always ended up back at square one with higher blood sugars, feeling like a failure.

The day she started Insulin was the day her life changed for the better. She found herself reaching out, finding out more about what it means to have type 1 and recognising that there were people just like her not only surviving but thriving.

Her aim in sharing these essays is to offer inspirational bytes to take the edge off it all. Having found comfort in reading other people’s stories, seeing how people get through their day, balancing their busy lives while managing their levels she feels so inspired and truly hopes that by reading these essays during her first year of insulin you will too.

Andrew Wadsworth

Well written persoanl story of transformation

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016

One of the important themes in this ebook is the struggle contemporary, health conscious people often have while stubbornly surrendering to the fact that Western Medicine has its place, even in their own life. Rachel has been able to transform her initial negative relationship with Type 1 Diabetes through mastering the great art of surrender and gratitude.
