A beautifully written, deeply insightful memoir of an individual's life journey with diabetes and the powerful lessons learned. This thought-provoking story is a gripping and sometimes raw account of what it's like for many to live with the disease.

When Scott was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes more than fifty years ago, he promised himself, "I'll live my life the same as I would have without this disease." But he would be forced to recognize that his resolution required compromise. Later, I Learned is a vivid account of his travels down long and challenging roads where he sought to understand the impact of the disease on himself, his family, and his relationships.

Most people without diabetes are unaware of the disease's physiological, psychological, economic, and social impact. The message that diabetes is a condition successfully managed through medications and minimal lifestyle changes is a myth for millions. Later*, I L*earned reveals how diabetes can affect a person's life and how the medical establishment, pharmaceutical, and "dia-business" industries maximize profits at the expense of people who struggle with the condition.

Scott's riveting accounts encapsulate decades of his journal entries that offer insights and hope while advocating for change. His memoir illustrates to everyone struggling with diabetes that they are far from alone.
