A snippet from her ebook:
My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2004, which led me to investigate ways in which I could improve his health, minimise his chances of suffering low blood sugar episodes and improve his long term blood sugar results also known as the HbA1C.… My son has achieved average HbA1 results of 6.5 % over the last 10 years. The range has been 4.8-7.2% with a current level of 5.8%. This is all the more remarkable when you consider that he became diabetic on the cusp of puberty which is a notoriously difficult time to achieve reasonable blood sugars.
