After his diagnosis at the age of 12, McAllister&#8217;s life changed forever and he faced an uncertain future of insulin shots, diet regulations, and high school. At the time, he longed for a road map to guide him through the challenges of his diagnosis but he had to learn everything the hard way.<\/p>\n<p>Motivated to help others have a smoother transition after diagnosis, McAllister created the compassionate road map he once wished he had. Whether it is managing mood swings, hormones, or blood sugar levels, Highs &amp; Lows of Type 1 Diabetes is the ultimate young adults handbook for surviving, thriving, and flourishing with Type 1 diabetes during one of the most terrifying, yet exciting, phases of life.<\/p>\n<p>McAllister credits his internship with CICATS for preparing him to write and launch his book. &#8220;CICATS was my very first internship. It was the first time I had the freedom and responsibility to learn and work independently. My experiences at CICATS played huge role in the way I approached planning and writing my book. I was undoubtedly more methodical, proactive and confident because of my time there,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>We know his new book will help so many young people and wish him the best as he finishes his studies at Saint Michael&#8217;s College and applies to medical school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CICATS congratulates our former intern, Patrick McAllister, on the publication of his new book Highs &amp; Lows of Type 1 Diabetes: The Ultimate Guide for Teens and Young Adults.
