DIABETES TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH
Lessons form 40+ Years of Beating the Odds
Tracy’s first book, "Diabetes Tragedy to Triumph", quickly became an International Bestseller. Tracy tells her own story of how she discovered she had diabetes, and explains her diabetes journey of over 40 years, which led to how she became a leading authority on diabetes, health, and wellness. The idea for this book came from Tracy's Endocrinologist (a physician who specializes in diabetes management), who suggested Tracy write a book based on her decades of researching and practicing strategies that helped her outlive her life expectancy by over 20 years.
This well-written book helps to educate newly-diagnosed people with diabetes, or those who just want a clearer picture of how to manage the disease well, in everyday terms. It is estimated that one in four people have prediabetes and do not even know it, and that over 29 million Americans live with it. Tracy uses her passion and gift of encouragement to offer simple strategies in this book to those struggling to get control of their lives-the healthy way. The strategies outlined in this book can help readers to prevent or control their diabetes.
If facing diabetes, Tracy suggests taking this book to your doctor, and ask them to look it over. Every doctor who has reviewed her book says, 'this is exactly what they tell their patients and wish they would practice.'
One doctor even said, “I wish you would just come sit in my waiting room every day and share your wisdom with my patients. They probably wouldn’t even need me.” In 118 pages, Tracy is able to summarize the strategies she’s employed, to help others. Her nearly 40-years-of-research helps the reader to understand and apply in a short-read what has helped Tracy deal with this difficult disease with no complications.
Shortly after writing this book, and to prove her health and wellness strategies work, Tracy completed a solo continuous 3,527-mile bicycle ride across the United States. Tracy has a B.S. in psychology, is a trained wellness coach and certified personal trainer, and helps people from all walks of life. The focus of her coaching practice is working with clients newly diagnosed with prediabetes, struggling to take control of their Type 2 diabetes, and simply wanting help living a longer heathier life.
When Tracy came into my life she was truly a blessing to my life...since being under the leadership she has encouraged me to exercise and eat right and I truly see the difference in my life...I've learned how to treat my body with care and to exercise on a regular basis...she also taught me things I could do at home when I was unable to work out...again she has truly been a blessing in my life and I love her for sharing her gifts. ~ D.

I loved Tracy's enthusiasm and passion for helping others. She was so inspiring on how to deal with any struggle.~ S. F.
