Books About Type 1 Diabetes

I’m surprised at the lack of books about Type 1 Diabetes at my local book stores. I’ve only been to two Barnes and Nobles so far, but at both I have only been able to find the following three books that reference T1DM (not including cookbooks):

* Diabetes A to Z: What You Need to Know About Diabetes - Simply Put by the ADA

* The American Diabetes Association Complete Guide to Diabetes by the ADA

* Type 1 Diabetes for Dummies by Alan L. Rubin, MD

All the rest are for Type 2 Diabetes – and there are TWO shelves worth. Seems like there might be a market for books about T1DM… hmmm?

I also noticed that the majority of the T2DM books had “cure” in the title – such as ‘the 30 day diet cure for diabetes’ or ‘exercise – a cure for diabetes’. This is so misleading. There is NO cure for diabetes. Insulin isn’t even a cure; it’s simply a way to manage the disease. With diet and exercise, people with T2DM can put their diabetes into remission, but once they have it, it will never go away.

If anybody out there knows of any good books about Type 1 Diabetes, please let me know!
