Gretchen Becker lives in Halifax, Vermont. She's a successful science writer and in 1996 she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
One of the ways she has coped with the disease is by researching and writing about it. She has just released a newly revised and updated edition of her book "The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed."
On Vermont Edition, she shared what she thinks those diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes should know.
