Welcome:
A. K. Buckroth and two younger siblings have coped
with juvenile diabetes. It does not have to be a
death threat. "My Diabetic Soul - An Autobiography,"
begins with the author's birth in 1957. She celebrates fifty
years - yes, 50 years - living with this disease.
This book is meant to inspire the ever-growing population
of a half billion diabetics - and their relatives - in the world.
Through a lifetime of growth factors, readings,
opinions, personal theories, and concrete research,
A. K. Buckroth's story is told.
The story begins with the necessary growing tumults of
chilhood due to this disease; being an adolescent
run-away and living through peer pressures; one marriage
with three miscarriages; resultant single-motherhood; college
graduations; world travels; and careers all while fighting to
stay alive on a daily basis.
Everyone needs a heroine and a miracle. Five decades of
living with diabetes has been an honor, a divine gift.
Readers will be inspired to fight for their lives,
distinguishing right from wrong on a daily basis;
strategizing their lives with a private appreciation for
themselves.
My Diabetic Soul - An Autobiography by
A. K. Buckroth is an inspirational must-read.
Insightful, hopeful, challenging, realistic - life with a terminal disease is protrayed here. Pictured above, A. K. Buckroth at age 2.
