21 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Someone With Diabetes


Book Tour for 21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes:

I’m having a book tour during the month of April 2010 to promote my book. If you’re interested in hosting a spot, doing a review, interview, giveaway, etc., please contact me. I have several great blogs signed up so far and I’ll post a full schedule once I get all the details hammered out.

___________________________________________

Why should non-diabetics get informed? Because as much as we know about diabetes treatment today, the support from our family and friends still plays a part in how healthy we are. An understanding approach from someone who cares means everything to us.

Your diabetic friend or relative counts on you to be the person in their life that “gets it” when no one else does. This book will tell you what you can do to help. Things like what you should (and shouldn’t) say, what you should learn to truly be supportive, and even how you can help in the fight for a cure.

21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone With Diabetes will point you in the right direction so you can truly support your diabetic friend.

Reviews:

From Rebecca Subbiah (Chow and Chattter):

I really love this little book and the concept of it. It is a quick and easy read geared towards friends and family of those with diabetes giving them down to earth and practical tips of how to help their loved ones. . ~more

From Barbara Sharp Milbourn (Amazon):

Often writers say if they can touch just one life or change one person for the better by telling their story, that their mission is accomplished. Cherie Burbach hasn’t used those precise words; instead she says that “21 Simple Things You Can Do To Help Someone with Diabetes will point you in the right direction so you can truly support your diabetic friend.” Her book has pointed me in the direction and I suspect has changed my life too–at least part of it. . ~more

From K. Albertson “reader1″ (Amazon):

Millions have been diagnosed with diabetes, and have been the brunt of a comment or situation with someone from the uninformed public.
It not only comes from “the public”, but family members and friends who take little or no time to understand this major health issue.
The author simplifes the subject matter and has created a powerful checklist for the uninformed.

It is an easy to read, easy to understand guide hitting on emotional, sensitive and practical situations that we probably experienced ourselves, or overheard in conversation at some point in our lives. ~more
