Sugar Happy: For Happy Blood Sugar Levels

By: Nadia Al-Samarrie

Narrated by: Susan Fuche

There are no known cures for diabetes. Nor is it reversible. You don't get diabetes from eating too much sugar. But one thing is undeniable: Diabetes complications may be preventable through education. The more you know, the better off you are.

One great chapter in that education is Sugar Happy, the semi-autobiographical account of diabetes health publisher Nadia Al-Samarrie's close, personal, and compelling experiences dealing with her family's diabetes from her childhood on.

Nadia, who has shared her insights over the years in print and online columns, in podcasts and video productions, is an internationally recognized diabetes patient advocate. The nine sections in Sugar Happy cover all the topics that concern listeners who experience high blood sugars - from understanding diabetes to overcoming the fears, it can produce to offering workable, proven, concrete steps for reducing and controlling blood sugars; Sugar Happy offers clear, plainly written insights and advice.

The comprehensive approach offers many tools to help - both devices and personal tips, plus moral support.” (Gary Arsham MD Ph.D. FACP)

"This book gives the reader a personal perspective on not only living with diabetes but also caring for someone with this disease. It is presented in a simple, easy to understand format that offers the emotional issues that both families and those with diabetes deal with daily.
