Later, I Learned
A Journey Through Life with Diabetes
The truth about diabetes.
Later, I Learned is the memoir of a person affected by diabetes when a young child. For over sixty years, Crossen struggled to manage wild blood sugar swings in the education system, demanding sports like boxing, solo bicycle tours across the continent, mountain climbing, traveling alone internationally, and navigating the business world. Each attempt at normalcy with diabetes set him back, but he persevered and strengthened his resolve to live without limitations. His accounts are an honest, raw, and sometimes graphic depiction of what living with diabetes is like for many. Though Crossen's experiences taught him that compromise is sometimes necessary, each setback strengthened his resolve to overcome the disease and discover why a complete cure for diabetes has not been found or made available. His relentless drive for an answer led him to discover reasons that some may find difficult to accept.
