"This unusual combination of medical and travel memoir offers candid testimony to human resilience. It also manages to be funny, relatable, and inspiring at the same time. Readers will be motivated to update their passports or, at the very least, try something new. Liebermann hits the mark with his engrossing literary debut.” —Booklist "The Insulin Express is a very special, exciting book . . . Oren Liebermann becomes a friend as he takes his readers on a remarkable journey.” —Eleanor Bobrow, Host, Take Charge of Your Life (WDIY/NPR) “A must-read for anyone who loves travel, cares about their health, or just likes to have coffee with a good friend. That’s the way The Insulin Express feels—like a long overdue chat with a buddy who’s had some pretty amazing adventures . . . [and who] teaches us all a lot about life and love." —Elizabeth Cohen, CNN Senior Medical Correspondent “The Insulin Express is part Casablanca-like travelogue and part suspenseful thriller. Oren and Cassie's adventure will inspire you, not only with his rich, detailed descriptions of places most of us will never visit, but also with his determination to continue on after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's a tale of inspiration, in the truest sense of the word. . . . I cannot wait for the sequel." —Jeff Hitchcock, founder and president of Children with Diabetes "A spirited tale of a trip around the world that is only slightly interrupted by a new diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Liebermann is the rare travel writer who mixes well the wide-eyed wonder of travel with the comedic mistakes of the traveler. He doesn't let much faze him, including being suddenly thrust into life with a serious chronic condition, and his positive attitude is infectious." —Craig Idlebrook, managing editor of Insulin Nation "I often say, 'I live my life and diabetes just comes along for the ride.' In Liebermann's yearlong journey around the world, that's never been more true. At 31, Liebermann’s body breaks down while hiking the Himalayas with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. A horrendous hospital stay in Nepal sends him home to the US to recover. Weeks later he’s back in Southeast Asia with his wife, and his diabetes, determined to finish the trip. Upbeat, Liebermann pulls you into the sights and smells of five continents and finding your way through a life-changing illness." —Riva Greenberg, founder of Diabetes Stories
