Hvert år bliver cirka 12.500 mennesker i Danmark ramt af en blodprop eller en blødning i hjernen, og i alt lever ca. 90.000 med diagnosen apopleksi, bedre kendt som stroke. Sværhedsgraden af følgerne varierer fra menneske til menneske, men næsten alle, som har haft en blodprop eller en hjerneblødning og deres pårørende oplever, at deres liv og dagligdag forandres. For nogle er forandringerne små, for andre livsomvæltende. Få livet tilbage efter stroke formidler den nyeste forskning. Bogen forklarer, hvad et stroke er, hvordan det kan forebygges, og hvordan det diagnosticeres og behandles. Bogen præsenterer både evidensbaseret viden om og inspiration til at få det bedste ud af livet efter et stroke. Samtidig møder læseren fem personer, der selv har været ramt af stroke. Bogen kommer desuden rundt om de psykiske udfordringer og om de muligheder, der er for at få hjælp fra kommunen og patientforeninger.

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
