"We diabetics are all habitual liars."
When Steve Joslyn was nineteen, a simple sore throat masked a deadly secret. Within months, the fit, healthy young man was emaciated, bordering on death, and staring down a life sentence with no set execution date: Type 1 Diabetes.
Just Another Prick is the raw, unfiltered, and darkly hilarious autobiographical account of surviving four decades with a chronic illness that never takes a day off. From the grim reality of 1980s blood-testing kits to the terrifying day his body fought off sepsis, Steve shares the unvarnished truth of what it means to live, work, and love with T1D.
This isn't a medical textbook. It's a story about the hidden toll of chronic illness-the silent battles with depression, the strain on marriages, the absurdities of the workplace, and the sheer, stubborn willpower it takes to keep going when your own body turns against you.
Inside this brutally honest memoir, you will discover:
Whether you are a newly diagnosed type 1, a long-time veteran of the insulin pump, a caregiver, or simply someone who appreciates a story of resilience told with British wit and unflinching honesty, this book is for you.
