Contents

This book was funded by a generous grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

It would not exist except for the efforts of all of the authors of the American Diabetes Association/JDRF Type 1 Diabetes Sourcebook and in particular Drs. Lori Laffel, Jane Chiang, and David Kendall, who were essential to the creation of that book. We are grateful to all.

We are indebted to the contributions of various writers who helped draft versions of this manuscript and patient stories: Erika Gebel Berg, Mary Ziotas Zacharatos, Marie McCarren, and Lindsey Wahowiak.

The ADA publications group has been patient, helpful, and encouraging, and we could not have done this without them.

We thank the members of the diabetes community, our patients, our friends, and most of all our families, who (mostly) forgive us our long working hours and provide an abundance of joy.
