Adam Brown

I have lived with diabetes for 20 years. Much of my journey is summarized in my first book, Bright Spots & Landmines: The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me. It offers actionable diabetes tips related to food, mindset, exercise, and sleep. Access was always at the center of this project, which is why you can get Bright Spots & Landmines free as a PDF or as a free audiobook. On Amazon, the book is priced at-cost in paperback ($6) and available on Kindle and Audible. To date, over 250,000 copies of Bright Spots & Landmines have been sold/downloaded. Writing and sharing this book has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my life.

From 2010-2019, I worked at two mission-driven diabetes publications: Close Concerns and diaTribe.org
