As the title implies, Thrive with Diabetes: Lead an Optimistic, Fun, Challenging, Fit, Tenacious, Enlightened, Innovative & Heroic Life serves as a template and touchstone for living with diabetes Author Laurence Chalem knows a thing or two about diabetes; he is an insulin-dependent diabetic that for many years struggled with his own diabetes diet. Frustrated by conflicting information, he tried everything from a high-carbohydrate, low-protein, low-fat diabetes diet to a low-carbohydrate, high protein, high-fat diabetes diet— and everything in between.
