Fiction

If my oncologist approves I’ll get the latest booster next month. She has already advised me to wear a mask and avoid crowds.

It’s funny on of the few things I remember from my earlier reading of the Hammer. Is a minor character with type 1 diabetes. It was probably before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and certainly before beginning insulin.

Someone newly diagnosed on one of the diabetes forums asked, “If the economy collapsed and the apocalypse started, and you couldn’t get your supplies, how would you manage your diabetes? How would you survive?” I immediately remembered, “Lucifer’s Hammer” and Dan Forester the diabetic scientist. Searching that title lead me to a list of 8 or 10 novels featuring diabetes, two apocalyptic “Sugar Scars” and Lucifer’s Hammer.”

I was glad to post these 2 books in answer to the question as I didn't want to be a complete downer.
