Review: As a diabettic of 23 years, I was glad to read Scott Bowles journals about his diabettes and his transplant. There is very little written about diabetes, even though it kills hundreds, maybe thousands of people every year. I understood exactly what he was talking about when he wrote about how hard it is to take very shot and watch everything you eat. I have reccommended the book to my friends and family. An excellent book, and something everyone should be familar with, even if they are not diabetic. a reader in Texas

Review: I read Scott's book several times for personal reasons and would recommend it to anyone, diabetic or not, who is in need of an injection of inspiration.

I should tell you that I am not diabetic. I simply came across the book at a particularly difficult time in my life when I was overwhelmed with life-altering decisions that would affect not only myself but my two young daughters. I had been in a state of flux for some time, questioning my own inner strength, my ability to follow through on what I knew had to be done. Reading Scott's journal was a huge reality check for me. His determination and courage helped me not only put my own problems into perspective but forced me to look within myself, to rediscover my own tenacity that I knew was buried in there somewhere.

Thank you Scott.
