Mary Tyler Moore, actress and activist, relates the highs and lows of living with type 1 diabetes. She unflinchingly chronicles her struggle with the disease, as well as her rehabilitation from alcohol dependence, all while deriving gratification from her roles as an actress, mother, businesswoman, campaigner and fundraiser. Her revealing tales of both her successes and failures offer others with diabetes guidance, inspiration, and hope.
