I denne bog beskrives livet for en diabetiker i Danmark gennem 17 år. Man følger historien om hvordan hans sygdom opdages, om de tanker og følelser som det kan medføre, at få en kronisk sygdom. Omverdenens reaktioner omtales, og den nye hverdag med den konstante balancering af mad, insulin og motion beskrives med indlevelse og humor. Forfatteren kommer med mange konkrete råd til diabetikere, bl.a. om hvilken insulin man kan bruge, måleapparater, madvarer og motion. Han opfordrer generelt alle diabetikere til at tage ansvaret for deres sygdom og fortæller hvordan. Bogen kan også være nyttig læsning for ikke-diabetikere, især hvis de har en diabetiker i deres nære omgangskreds. Den beskriver hvordan diabetikerens hverdag føles og hvad de nære venner/pårørende bør vide og gøre, og især hvad de ikke bør gøre. "Bogen indeholder både mange praktiske råd og fornuftige tanker om det at have en kronisk sygdom som sukkersyge." -Birger Thorsteinsson, professor, overlæge, dr. med., Hillerød Hospital
