The doctors warned her not to go…
After living with diabetes for
years, Erin Spineto was quickly losing her sanity. Buried beneath blood tests,
injections and medical devices, to hold on to her wits, she needed a change, to
take back her life. But how?
Erin loved sailing with every ounce of
her being, but doctors told her years ago never to do it alone. It was far too
dangerous. What if her blood sugars dropped while she was alone in the middle
of the ocean, far from help? What if seasickness caused her blood sugars to
rise, slamming her into a diabetic coma and leaving her incapable of handling
the boat?
…but it was a trip she had to make.
In Islands
and Insulin, Erin sails a 22 foot sailboat down the Florida
Keys as she fights winds, currents and swells that threaten to
capsize her. Join her on her journey to accepting diabetes as she navigates
those tumultuous early years of adulthood and learns how valuable real
friendships are in the battle against a chronic disease.
