This book is much more than a practical guide: it is a sincere companion, a silent friend who walks alongside you on this path called diabetes. Throughout these pages, we have explored together the different faces of this disease: its causes, its symptoms, its complications, but also the powerful tools we have to face it with hope, courage, and determination.With clear and approachable language, I wanted to show you how mindful eating, daily exercise, restorative rest, and stress management are fundamental pillars for taking control of diabetes. We have also talked about the importance of constant glucose monitoring as a compass that guides you towards well-being day after day.We explored together the power of nature, of nourishing foods, and of medicinal plants that have offered their healing wisdom since ancient times, all backed by modern science. Because diabetes is not only faced with medicines, but also with knowledge, with self-love, with every small act of self-care.This book arises from a deeply personal experience. I have also closely lived the challenge of coexisting with diabetes. I know what it means to receive the diagnosis, I know the fear, the uncertainty, but I also know the immense power that arises when you decide not to give up. Everything I share here is a reflection of a journey traveled with effort, with setbacks, but also with many achievements that I want to put in your hands today.My purpose in writing these lines is to remind you that diabetes does not define your destiny. It is a condition that, although challenging, can become a silent teacher that teaches you to live with more awareness, with more gratitude, and with more love for yourself.Every choice matters. Every small change you make today -every step towards healthier eating, every minute dedicated to moving, every decision to listen to your body- can open the doors to many years of a full and happy life with diabetes.This book is, above all, an invitation: not to resign yourself, to inform yourself, to embrace your inner strength. To trust that it is indeed possible to live well with diabetes, to build a more vital present and a more hopeful future.Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this journey. My deepest wish is that this book has given you not only knowledge about diabetes but also motivation, light, and the certainty that you are never alone on this path.With respect, gratitude, and an open heart, Gerardo Hernández Elizondo
