North of Normal: A Type 1 Diabetes Resource Guide for Managing Blood Sugar, Insulin, Eating, Exercise, Daily Life, Self-Advocacy, and Mental Health for Kids, Teens, and Adults Paperback – July 2, 2024

Stop trying to figure out how to successfully manage Type 1 diabetes (T1D) on your own. Instead, take advantage of the 10 plus years of experience, research, and trial & error from a fellow Type 1 diabetic, so you don’t have to figure it out yourself and so you can fast-track your process to thriving.After his diagnosis at age 11, Wyatt Adams and his family realized he would have to live a “North of Normal'' lifestyle if he wanted to keep up his active and high achieving life despite T1D.Wyatt wrote North of Normal because he and his parents could never find a COMPREHENSIVE guidebook that gave step by step information about T1D.The books available were either written like a complex medical textbook, or just someone's life story with Type 1; with no helpful insights. This book simplifies complex ideas, gives actionable solutions, while still giving anecdotal stories that empower other Type 1s– kids, teens and adults. Ten years of experience and research went into this comprehensive FULL COLOR and color-coded guidebook. Each color represents one of Wyatt’s 9 foundational principles: Diabetes 101, Blood Glucose, Insulin, Eating, Exercise, Planning & Preparedness, Mindset & Emotions, Self Advocacy, and Mastering You. Within each chapter are “Parent Perspective” portions written by his mom to help parents and caregivers be the best advocates for their T1Ds.Type 1 diabetes is a complex disease, but this book aims to make it easier to understand and simplifies how to manage it successfully for both newly diagnosed and experienced Type 1s.Some of what you’ll learn:Diabetes 101: Understand the Myths & FAQs about Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and the difference between Type 1, Type 2, Type 1.5 and other diabetesBlood Glucose: consistently manage your blood glucose to be within a healthy rangeInsulin: Accurately calculating, troubleshooting, and administering insulin for food & correctionsEating: Accurately counting carbohydrates, Type 1 nutrition concepts, and how foods other than carbs impact Type 1s.Exercise: The benefits T1Ds get from exercise & managing glucose levels during exercise & sports and specific menus for peak performancePlanning & Preparedness: Plan, prepare & think ahead to live a more stress-free life with T1D at school, work, traveling, sleep, socially and even during emergencies.Mindset & Emotions: Managing your mental health and emotions will lead to more T1D successSelf Advocacy: Take the lead with your T1D, advocate for what you need & be proactive with your T1DMastering You: Learning to THRIVE in all facets of life while on your T1D journey10% of all Profits from this book and all North of Normal products & services go to research for Type 1 diabetes & supporting Type 1 diabetics. www.livingnorthofnormal.com Read more
