Summary

As Sweet As It Gets: A Diabetic's Story begins with the author's onset of diabetes at age eighteen and chronicles the ever-present effects of the condition on ordinary life experiences. Realistic and thought-provoking, this first-person account expresses the emotional and mental effects of the disease, which has impacted every aspect of the author's existence for over 30 years. Robert W. Thompson, Jr. shares his interpersonal relationships, such as marriage and fatherhood, and the premature death of four individuals: a brother killed in a car accident at age 22, a cousin who suffered from schizophrenia and died at 34, a close friend who succumbed to emphysema, and a former roommate who died during a liver transplant operation. Given their own set of obstacles, their choices, and life experiences, readers can relate to Thompson's story of endurance.
