I’m having a hard time fluctuating between liking this book a lot and being angry about this book. Yes, the author had an amazing story to tell - but he idolized his own idiocy and talks about serious life or death situations that he very luckily survived. The tips from the ADA at the end are important, but the entire collection feels... misplaced. Is this a narrative of overcoming obstacles? Of surviving a type-1 diagnosis? Of reaching goals? Of travel?
I’m just not sure that this should be a published work, or a mixed up journal.

Liebermann and his wife quit their jobs to travel the world for a year but while in Nepal Oren became very ill and discovered he had type 1 diabetes, the kind that requires constant monitoring of blood sugar and insulin shots. After he returns to the states for treatment, the question is do they continue on their journeys (obviously the answer is "yes").
Libermann tells the story with candor and I enjoyed the author's writing and wit. His travels were interesting and his attitude towards his disease was inspiring to others that might receive the same kind of life-changing news.
Another excellent narrative about traveling with health challenges is Bauerschmidt's book:Driving Miss Norma: One Family's Journey Saying "Yes" to Living|31371287].
At the time I was reading this book, a couple who RV full-time also reported one of them received the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes but still planned on continuing their travels. To follow their adventures, Google "RV Wanderlust."

An account of the author's round-the-world trip which was interrupted by a diagnosis of diabetes. Good balance of lighthearted travelogue with his engaging story of his diagnosis and how he completed his travels. However, I felt like the book skimmed over a lot of his travel -- perhaps because the overall trip was so long -- and I think more in-depth stories/anecdotes would have added to the book.
