I've only just noticed that the heading to this section is asking for recommendations for books about diabetes, rather than books on any subject. Anyway, I've posted on a non diabetic related book before and nobody seemed to mind so I hope it is OK to do it again. I suppose there is a tenuous connection in that I got back into cycling after I was diagnosed and I now cycle partly to control my diabetes.
Firstly we have Muck Sweat & Gears by Alan Anderson. I picked this one up at a garden centre, one of those with a cafe and a substantial gift shop as well as the gardening part. It is basically a collection of fairly brief anecdotes and quotations on the subject of cycling. It is a gold mine of obscure factiods and stories about cycling, some serious, some humorous, all interesting.
Second is Mindful Thoughts For Cyclists by Nick Moore. This one I found in a National Trust gift shop. It covers various aspects of cycling, wind, rain, hills, traffic, riding at night, encountering wildlife, to name but a few. Nick seems to be very much a glass half full guy and seems to put a positive spin on just about everything, even punctures. It is quite thought provoking and reading it has prompted me to look at my cycling in a slightly different way.
