Product Description
DIABETease is a book of humorous illustrations, which inject a little fun into the otherwise serious side of diabetes. The ladybug mascot, named LadyBetes, that appears throughout the book also provides generalized facts and tips about the disease. Through her amusing cartoons, Garnero hopes to reduce stress, while inspiring interest in diabetes self-care management, for both adults and children.
About the Author
Theresa L. Garnero is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, Board Certified in Advanced Diabetes Management, has a Master of Science Degree in Nursing, is a Certified Diabetes Educator by day, and an internationally published cartoonist by night. The youngest of 7 children of Italian descent, humor was revered – especially around the crowded dinner table – and planted the seeds of silliness and ambition. She uses multicultural images to promote diabetes education efforts and inspire the use of cartooning as an art form. Having made a difference in her clinical practice, her hope is that many more may benefit from the humor.
