The following diabetic stories, written by an insulin dependent diabetic (Type 1) is called "Tales in the Insulin Vial". The author describes situations and adventures experienced during his life.   The number of diabetics is growing aggressively and researchers have considered it pandemic. The worldwide diabetes population comprises almost 240 million persons. About 24 million or 10 percent, are Type 1 diabetics (insulin-dependent); while Type 2 diabetics (non-insulin-dependent) make up 216 million.   There is an underlying warrior mentality in the book. It assumes that the diabetic is at war with a "beast or demon". It shows no mercy and it is relentless in its pursuit to destroy the diabetic's quality of life and, finally, kill them. The fight for life with diabetes is apparent in many of the stories, "Bully Boy, Warriors, Exceptional Day, Voyageur, Steel Legs and Kidney Transplantation". All the stories describe events that challenge the diabetic's will and character to overcome his/her personal enemy and succeed in life. The stories hold nothing back, as diabetic reactions, blindness, dialysis, kidney transplantation, amputation and a failed pancreas transplant are discussed within the stories from a patient's personal perspective.   I haven't found another book like this in my review of diabetes literature. These tales take you from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood and show the challenges the diabetic condition presents and how those challenges were met. Many readers have told me they've found these stories informative and inspirational, and I hope you do too. Thank you for reading!

In 1943, Hitler began to see the way the War was going. He needed to make plans for the next campaign. His vision was still strong, but he was losing confidence in his generals. He decided to make secret contingencies to ensure he could start again.    By 1945, he had completed the first part of his plan, but now his health had failed and he knew he would not be able to complete his vision. He needed someone who had the same burning zeal for his fatherland to take his plan forward.    Erich Schreiner would be his Apostle. He was young and had the same single-minded belief as his Führer, and as a decorated war hero he had the ideal image to lead his country into the Fourth Reich.    The world changed, however, and it would be three generations before a Schreiner would find the perfect riposte to the defeat of his Führer.    Now the target has been identified and the ingenious means to deliver the coup-de-gras is in its final stages.    Craig McAdam, an investigative journalist, goes home to Scotland to spend a quiet weekend with his parents and finds himself looking into the disappearance of a young electronics engineer. His wife thinks he has been kidnapped, but as she is receiving postcards from him the police are not interested. Do the postcards provide a series of clues to his whereabouts? Craig's enquiries suddenly take a new urgency when they converge with the plans of The Führer's Apostle.

We are all on a 'journey' of which the values are all equal - No 'journey' can claim to be better than the others are. In life, we are given a humble start and travel different paths. Journey of a Lifetime, Volume 1 recounts the bumpy beginnings of my own journey, that of an ordinary citizen: World War II refugee and a childhood in post-war Germany.     The 'journey' tells of the author's travels through Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa, where he met many people, learned about different cultures and shared unique experiences. Everything finds a place in this autobiographical work: controversy, challenges, education, hobbies, work, travel, romance, disappointment and success. In the end, the author proves that courage and a positive outlook will help overcome many hurdles on any journey.
