I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes in 1988. At that time I became a Member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, where I focussed my skills on diabetes management. Conventional wisdom said diabetes is a progressive disease with no cure that leads to blindness, kidney disease and amputations. I investigated what my colleagues were doing in other countries with alternative therapies. My journey allowed me into a world that is both inspiring and mystifying, we are but children dipping our toes on the shores of the cosmic ocean that is science. These books are the travel journals, full of the tales of exploration of a land where no-one has gone before.
