Former Banking Executive turned Author helps others take control of their diabetes

Gerard Gardner, former banking executive / federal banking regulator and diabetic, takes us along a path to managing diabetes under the worst of circumstances. Beset by financial ruin caused by market downturns, multiple job losses, and a bitter divorce, Gardner takes us on a journey that lets us see his route to survival that ends in a victory of sorts. More importantly he leads us through the everyday events that led him to the disease in the first place; something that will benefit nearly any reader whether afflicted or not.

Gardner is a survivor and despite not having access to medications finds a way to manage the disease for nearly three years before getting the medical attention he needed.   This book is a must read guide for anyone facing adversity through relationships, disease, financial hardships and intense stress as Gardner presents a sympathetic character whose visions and goal achievement will surely inspire you.

Born and raised in New England, Gardner has been involved in the Hollywood recording industry, in corporate banking as a manager in three of the nation's largest banks, and is a former resident of the original setting for the Real Housewives of Orange County. His book has a little something for everyone.  It is the first installment of a series aimed at inspiring others to move forward regardless of their circumstances.
