At the Precipice
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Carol Hoenig Personal Media Publicist Carolhoenig@carolhoenig.com 516-435-7545 AT THE PRECIPICE: My Three-Year Journey from Stroke to Good Health with Type 2 Diabetes Los Angeles, CA – In 2007, Jim Snell suffered the fate of many Americans who do not eat nutritionally and live a sedentary life: he had a stroke. Although it nearly took his life, it served as a new beginning. Reeling from the physical challenges presented by the stroke, Jim also had to learn to manage the underlying medical condition of type 2 diabetes that had developed. Now he recounts his journey in his memoir, At the Precipice: My Three-Year Journey from Stroke to Good Health with Type 2 Diabetes (published by iUniverse). After three years of doing everything he was told to do, including monitoring his blood glucose, making better food choices, taking his medications properly, and more, Jim gained control over his disease. However, he was frustrated by what he perceived as a chasm between what his doctors knew and what they were sharing with him. Like many new diabetics, he found himself lost in a sea of conflicting information, vague advice, advertisements for "miracle cures," and the promise of impossible advances in non-medical supplements. Though overwhelmed, Jim applied his engineer's mind to the task. Type 2 diabetes has been exploding at 200 and 300 per cent worldwide. At the Precipice addresses the strategies and latest thinking when it comes to this disease, which is no longer the death sentence it was once thought to be. Even though he was heading toward severe rot, kidney failure, eye hemorrhages, lung degradation, and maximum water retention and swelling, Jim Snell is proof of that. Today he is on minimum insulin, a carb-restricted diet of 1200 calories a day, and he walks one or two miles daily. His story was written to inspire others who have developed this increasingly common disease to learn to take control—no matter how dire the illness seems. About the Author Jim Snell worked for forty plus years as an electronics design engineer, troubleshooting complex, multi-integrated Circuit processing and communications hardware. He was also a vocational technical instructor. Presently, he is retired and living in Los Angeles. You may find out more about the author at http://type2diabetesthinking.com/.
