レビュー

"Through the course of ten years in the publishing industry, it is rare to pick up a manuscript that one can instantly relate to while yearning for more and Paul Cathcart has accomplished this feat in Persona non grata with Diabetes. Whether you suffer from the consequences of diabetes or enjoy reading, this self portrait will engulf and consume you as this writer expounds on a life complicated with diabetes along with the trials and tribulations of everyday life while facing his disease. A real day to day view of a diabetic's real world life from Paul's personal perspective sheds light in this must read narrative. This book is not only for diabetics but for the whole world. A true must read." Derek Raulerson, 22 October 2013 "Cathcart's 'Persona non grata with diabetes' is an engrossing and hard-hitting honest account of life as a diabetic, aiming - as the author himself asserts - to cut out the impersonal medical spiel and confront the everyday truths of it all head-on. Cathcart writes his memoirs with a compellingly blunt hand, and every frustration, every fear is palpable in a way that makes this book a truly sympathetic and invaluable read for fellow sufferers seeking the show of solidarity that the author so determinedly sets out to deliver. This is a brilliantly written and deeply insightful look at life as a diabetic from a candid first hand source." Board of Editors, 'Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd' Best diabetic read ever Finally a book about being diabetic that isn't patronising, doesn't moralise and tells it like it is. I read this book in one go. I shared so many feelings, experiences and opinions of being a type 1 D I went through the whole spectrum of emotions as I read it. I recognised my own denial and anger and my own breakthrough to acceptance when meeting the right team. This should be compulsory reading for all diabetic consultants and diabetes specialist nurses. We could probably all write our own versions of this book, they would probably all be equally as powerful but I thank Paul for having the courage to actually do it. Definitely the best diabetic read ever. CJ, 14 August 2013 http://www.pngwd.com/readerreviews.html

著者について

What kind of persona dedicates their life to understanding and sharing the emotions of diabetes? An everyday diabetic of 21 years experience; Cathcart has come to understand his diabetes as a state-of-being rather than its medical definition. His core belief, 'that only through a rightful understanding can we accept a just responsibility to our shared condition.' http://www.pngwd.com/pngwd.html

Trainspotting on Insulin

2013年8月11日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I bought this to try and understand the emotional impact of diabetes. My son is 3 years down the road since type 1 came into our lives and is still a young child. I wanted to prepare myself for the tough years which lie ahead and to try to understand how he may feel about his diabetes in the years ahead.

This book would make an great movie - it reads somewhat like a film script and had me interested and fascinated from the word go. The authors difficult early years in Glasgow are depicted vividly as he struggles to vote with his diagnosis and living the life of a young man out drinking and partying. I hesitate to be negative but my criticism is that he is rather dismissive of the insulin pump which has transformed my child and my family's life for the better. It is not the Artificial Pancreas which the author is so disapproving of - this is thus far still being developed in the labs of clever scientist and engineers but I have hope that it may become a reality in the not too distant future.

What I totally agree with is the author's conclusion that our modern western diet is bad for us but I contend that it had anything to do with the development of TYPE 1 Diabetes which is an autoimmune disease. I do think however that for TYPE 2 diabetes it probably has a lot to answer for. Controlling carbohydrate intake is a good idea for everyone; especially those with Type 2 and probably adults with Type 1 also.

I feel not enough distinction was made between type 1 and type 2. Several times the author stated his condition could have been avoided? but this is simply not possible! Perhaps he didn't mean this but that is the impression he gave. I'm very glad he has found a way to better keep his bloods sugars in control and I wish him a healthy future. He might like to know that type 1 diabetics in developing countries without access to insulin a likely to live for a few short months or a couple of years if they are lucky; until their honeymoon period ends. There is no dietary supplement that can replace insulin but maybe for type 2 there is something that can help with insulin resistance.

Finally a book that isnt patronising, doesnt moralise and tells it how it is. I read this book in one go. I shared so many feelings, experiences and opinions of being a type 1 D I went through the whole spectrum of emotions as I read it.

I recognised my own denial and anger and my own breakthrough to acceptance when meeting the right team. Maybe it's like love, all a question of timing and meeting the right people at the right time? For me, after years in a diabetic wilderness, it was connecting with a team who made me feel cared for. This should be compulsory reading for all diabetic consultants and diabetes specialist nurses.

We could probably all write our own versions of this book, they would probably all be equally as powerful but I thank Paul for having the courage to actually do it. Definitely the best diabetic read ever.

I bought this book in a new attempt to better understand and take control of my disease

I bought this book in a new attempt to better understand and take control of my disease. I was looking for confirmation of there being others out there who go what I go through, who experience the same kinds of set backs and lows as I do. I found this in PNGWD; I just wasn't expecting it to be so hilarious.

"Fifty-three million diabetics in Europe alone and all we are offered in public is Diet Coke. They will know when the diabetic uprising occurs, when the cake shops burn and Fanta Zero pours from every tap."

I fully expected this to be a non-fiction work of statistics and fact, and was delighted to see it was more of a life story. More importantly, it was filled with colloquialisms and places I know from Glasgow; this made it even more comfortable to relate to since we've both spewed in the same places with blood sugar above the 19 mark.

Cathcart's memoirs of his life and condition are written with honesty and exasperation. We see his diagnosis at a young age, wander through his early twenties with him as he tries to make sense of insulin versus alcohol, and later sit uncomfortably as his disease impacts his career. This was all too familiar to me as I remembered sitting back at eleven years old as my friends all scoffed Haribo at sleepovers, getting sick of it at nineteen and necking raspberry vodka slushies in the ABC (later waking up paralysed and dealing with a 45 minute panic before I could move just enough to reach a Toffee Crisp), and finally dealing with the ignorant and myopic "just try harder" lecturers of my adulthood. It's both a relief and an irritant to see this happening to someone else.

I really enjoyed reading of Cathcart's helpless conversations with medical professionals who know better. I'm sure we've all had days where we realise these people are not diabetic, and they're giving advice based on scripted methods and teachings, rather than considering us as people with different, varying lifestyles.

"We've simply got the numpties who think they know about diabetes in the same way that all big sisters think they know how to cut their little brother's hair."

His comments on the industry of diabetes, however, are ones I have never taken the time to think of. He's right, of course, that it's a profitable business; of course companies make money from the thousand of test strips we go through a day. I'm probably keeping Lucozade afloat single-handedly, never mind the rest of our hypo army. No wonder we haven't been cured yet.

This is an excellent read for a type one diabetic, whether recently diagnosed, or an old veteran like myself. I look forward to the next one.

Thank you so very much for writing and publishing your amazing book. I just put it down and felt compelled to write my first ever review.

I met my boyfriend a year and a half ago, on a drunken night out and we ended up back at mine at 4am. When we woke up at good knows when, feeling slightly worse for wear but happily cosy, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his insulin pen - cue me: "Oh what's that?" Him: "I'm diabetic"... "Ah OK... Want breakfast?" I think it was lucky I'd been shopping the day before and actually had something decent for us to eat in the kitchen.

Anyway that seems both like yesterday and ages ago. I fell in love with this gentle, kind, quiet caring man within weeks... We seem to have been through a couple of ups and downs already but everything always works out well... but your book has just made me fall even deeper in love with him.

I thought I had learned a lot since we met, not obsessively but slowly gaining knowledge, what was happening to his blood sugar, his highs and lows, the lethargy, the thirsts, what the hell HbA1c is . I knew that it got him down, especially as we struggled toward the end of last year with weight gains (we each gained about 5kg of love fat) and he was blaming his pump... We started looking to drink less and gym etc and have both lost that again since Christmas.... But I realise now I understoof very little of what sugar was doing to his head.

Reading your book, so many disconnected little events started clicking into place in my mind... so much unexplained behaviour, so much about his sometimes quietness and difficulty in talking, even when very upset with life's problems with family, with employers, the world in general, so much of the emotional strain that he must, like you, have gone through over the last thirty years, things that he probably doesn't even realise himself... I can't put myself in his shoes though, I can't experience what he is going through, I wish I could swap places and give him a break from T1, but your book has helped connect the dots and see through some very infuriating and frustrating behaviour to the person underneath the sugar mountain... and I just want to reach out and wipe it all away.

I hope this doesn't sound too sickly (haha), I was quite angry with him a couple of times this week including this evening, it's not easy sometimes to ignore certain things, my patience is limited and sometimes I have to go and have a time out... and come back from shutting myself away for half an hour and find a man in tears that I have left to lie in my bed with the door shut, because I'm angry, and I find a man very, very hurt by me and then I feel so bad again. Now he is out at the theatre and instead of my emotions festering in my stomach, my anger has dissolved into love and I look forward to a cosy cuddle and a good nights sleep.

One paragraph you wrote, near the end of the book, which particularly helped me crystallise and pull all these threads together was this one:

For us diabetes amplifies everything; if you feel just-not-right then broken blood sugar will make it wrong, as alcohol does an alcoholic; every bone of contention, every pulse of ill will, slight upset or lull, every wave of exhaustion and misunderstanding all amplified. Deformation of sadness, doubt and dependency; symptoms lost in a bigger world, it leaves us wilting. We push on.

Anyway, I just couldn't stop myself from writing to say thank you. What an help it has been. I struggled with the first few preview pages of the book, but thought what the hell, give it a go, you might just learn something for £1.50. And I am glad I did. And I Did!

Where so I start with this?
I bought this without hesitation based on a short sample I had read a while ago, being a type 1 diabetic myself I was desperate to find a book I could relate to, without the usual "step one, eat porridge for breakfast, step two, go for a walk, step three, eat cinnamon" that's the usual I tend to come across. Not this one though, I was drawn to this as soon as I read the first couple of pages.
Paul tells us exactly how this is, I found myself laughing and crying, crying not from being upset, but somewhat relief in being able to think to myself "bloody hell he's spot on".
I found being able to relate to a lot of what Paul has been through has helped me a lot, knowing someone else out there has gone through hell with diabetes but has a positive way of living with it is quite an inspiration!
I do apologise if my grammar is abit out, as I'm on my iPhone now, but I'd urge everyone who has diabetes or even knows someone with this grotty condition to buy the book or download the ebook version, you won't want to put it down.
Thanks Paul!
