    May 20, 2023 9 minutes

    Bitten by the reading bug? Looking for new thoughts and ideas on how best to manage your diabetes? If so, there’s a book out there for you! Books for people living with diabetes cover a wide range of important topics, including lifestyle approaches, blood glucose management, nutrition, exercise, diabetes burnout, organizing, pregnancy, empowerment, cooking, and so much more!

(Although many of these titles are written by people living with type 1 diabetes, much of the information is also valuable for people living with type 2.)
