BittersweetThe Highs, The Lows, Hypers and Hypos of Living with Type 1 Diabetes
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Duke Al is raising money for Diabetes UK and JDRF UK. A percentage of the profits made from the sales of Bittersweet will be given to both charities.
Bittersweet is the debut collection of poetry, by spoken word poet and rap artist Duke Al. Bittersweet dives into the deep depths of what it is like to live with type 1 diabetes (T1D), providing an open and honest insight from personal experiences. The powerful poems are also an exploration into experiences of others that are living with the autoimmune condition. Bittersweet aims to make an invisible condition visible, as well as help other invisible conditions such as mental health, when living with T1D, be visible.
Bittersweet contains vivid and meaningful artwork, created by Dr. Sarah Ali, artist name Sarah Racanière. These pieces of original artwork allow for the poems to have an artist visual perspective. A combination of both the artwork and poetry make the reading experience that much sweeter!
The read is full of highs and inspirational topics like 100 years since the discovery of insulin, a will of motivation and optimism for the future. Bittersweet includes poems such as Is Possible, If It Wasn’t for You, The Pump Is… and Futuristic. Bittersweet also features emotional topics such as mental health and T1D, burnout and storytelling poems, including Burnt Out, Luggage and Guessing Game. There are fun poems as well! For example, Scooby Snacks, Box of Chocolates, Sweet Teeth and What If.
Overall, Bittersweet is a unique insight into what it’s like for a person to live with T1D. It is far from sugar-coated and raises awareness of the effects T1D has on a person. Bittersweet is written with passion and filled with human emotion, making it a relatable, intriguing, and fascinating read.
