Delaying the Diagnosis

For the first time, a diagnosis could be postponed: an infusion course that holds off type 1 diabetes in those whose antibodies say it is coming — buying months and often years before insulin begins.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts come from screened families: the antibody results that redrew a child's future, the fourteen-day infusion stretch navigated around school and work, rashes and lymphocyte dips watched closely, and then the strange gift afterwards — ordinary time, marked by quarterly monitoring, in which a ten-year-old stayed simply a ten-year-old. Writers include diabetes that arrived anyway, later and gentler; the honeymoon extended in the newly diagnosed; and parents debating whether to screen siblings at all.

Who it's for

For families with type 1 in the bloodline, anyone holding positive antibodies and a decision, and parents buying their children time.
