I was born in Cali, Colombia, where an early passion for learning inspired me to study mathematics and physics at Universidad del Valle. Though I did not complete my degree, my journey of discovery never stopped.
After moving to the United States, I pursued telecommunications at Pima College while working for the telephone company, a chapter that taught me perseverance and adaptability. Life then blessed me with marriage and fatherhood, and raising my son became one of my greatest joys.

This book is a godsend. As a newly diagnosed senior, I was overwhelmed. Walter's guide simplified everything. The meal plans are easy to follow with simple ingredients, and the journal keeps me accountable. My energy levels have improved dramatically, and my last A1C was the best it's been in years! I finally feel in control of my health instead of my diabetes controlling me.
I've tried other diabetes books, but this is the first one that speaks directly to seniors. No confusing jargon, just straight talk. The chapter on pre-diagnosis explained symptoms I'd ignored for years. The daily tracker is my favorite part—it's made checking my sugar a simple habit. My wife even uses the recipes now! I highly recommend it to any man over 60 who needs clear, practical advice.
I bought this for my husband, but I ended up reading it cover to cover! The writing is so compassionate and understanding. It feels like the author is right there with you, cheering you on. The grocery shopping tips and portion control guide have revolutionized our kitchen. We're both eating better and feeling more vibrant. It's more than a book; it's a lifestyle change made easy.
As an accountant, I appreciate things that are well-organized and effective. This book is exactly that. The 365-day tracker is brilliant for measuring progress, and the science is explained in a way that finally makes sense. The advice on reading food labels alone was worth the purchase. It's a comprehensive resource that has genuinely helped me manage my diabetes better than anything else I've tried.
