What’s a sweets-loving young boy growing up gay in North Carolina in the '80s supposed to think when he’s diagnosed with type-1 diabetes? That God is punishing him, naturally.
This was, after all, when gay-hating Jesse Helms was his senator, AIDS was still the boogeyman, and no one was saying, "It gets better." And if stealing a copy of a gay porno magazine from the newsagent was a sin, then surely what the men inside were doing to one another was much worse.
Sweet Tooth is Tim Anderson’s uproarious memoir of life after his hormones and blood sugar both went berserk at the age of 15. With Morrissey and The Smiths as the soundtrack, Anderson self-deprecatingly recalls love affairs with vests and donuts, first crushes, coming out, and inaugural trips to gay bars. What emerges is the story of a young man trying to build a future that won’t involve crippling loneliness or losing a foot to his disease - and maybe even one that, no matter how unpredictable, can still be pretty sweet.

now I’m a (relatively) successful adult in good control of my diabetes due to tech advances, happily, gayly married in my first purchased home with my husband who knows what to do if I have an ‘episode’ (few and far-between), and I guess it’s because of the wisdom that comes with age.
Thanks for the book. The reading was humorous & engaging, and the inside knowledge of the author made it so authentic to me. (Diabetes topic and gay in the 80s-90s topic) Made me laugh and shed a lil tear for the younger me.
All good stories should engage & this one did that for me.
I even remember diabetes camp!
Great job!
Me too!
