A Matter of The Heart: My Unexpected Journey with Diabetes by ark Brezzell MS CP Paperback: https://geni.us/MatterofHeart-Diabetes eBook: https://geni.us/Diabetes_eBook Website: https://www.mdbliveconnext.com/ This book delves into the depths of my experience, highlighting the intricate link between diabetes and heart disease, a connection that is especially prevalent in the Black community. As a healthcare professional, I was well-versed in the technicalities of these conditions, but facing them personally was an entirely different battle. My journey through diagnosis, acceptance, and management of diabetes transformed my life and perspective, compelling me to share my story. This book is not only a chronicle of my struggles and victories but also a guide for those who find themselves on a similar path. It underscores the importance of recognizing early signs, seeking timely medical intervention, and understanding the broader implications of diabetes on the well-being of the heart. I hope this book brings you a sense of perspective and solace. As you embark on this journey with me, I hope my story inspires awareness, resilience, and a proactive approach to health. Life, as I have learned, is full of unexpected twists, but it is in facing these challenges that we find our true strength. #diabetes #diabetesawareness #diabetessymptoms #diabetesmanagement
