About the Book

"Children with diabetes can live full, happy, productive lives. I hope my story can stand as proof of that fact." Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age seven, Wendy Louise Novak had to create her own path in a world defined by stigma and hope. With little public awareness of her condition, Wendy's only role model was her fiercely independent father, who grew up in an era when diabetes meant a difficult life. He taught her to "follow the rules" and stay self-reliant. Wendy built a loving family as she navigated a condition that was still widely misunderstood. Despite tough times, she learned to balance following the rules with following her passions, saying, "I never wanted to be the kind of person who stayed home and worried about whether or not I could take it, and so I didn't." Today, Wendy is the face of the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute, which supports education and research to ensure people with diabetes can thrive. In this uplifting account, Wendy shares what she has learned, including practical tips for managing diabetes. With a foreword by the author's husband, businessman and philanthropist David Novak, Diabetes and Me shows that a diagnosis doesn't define you.
About the Author: Diagnosed at age seven, Wendy Louise Novak proves that it is possible to live a long, healthy, and active life with type 1 diabetes. Today, that determination guides the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute, which works with the Norton Children's Hospital in Kentucky to provide some of the nation's best care for children with diabetes. Novak also sits on the boards of the Lift a Life Novak Family Foundation and Camp Hendon, a Kentucky-based camp for children with diabetes. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Novak splits her time between Louisville, Florida, and New York.
