What is a Diabetes Dominator? Diabetes Dominator is a state of mind: Instead of diabetes being perceived as a weakness or a curse, diabetes can actually be a great source of strength if we choose to let it. We all have the power to turn adversity into advantage. Diabetes can be a catalyst for improving our lives, paying closer attention to what matters most in life, and for being of service to others. I didn't always feel this way, and that's why I wrote this book. 3 BONUSES: Get my online health and wellness training program for FREE (worth over $100) when you take action now. See diabetesbook.com for details. This is the book I wish my mom and dad had when times looked darkest. This is the book that I wish I could go back and give to my younger self, to tell myself that it's going to be okay. To show myself that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that instead of feeling weak, hopeless, defeated, and unworthy for the rest of my life, that instead I will end up being stronger than I ever imagined possible. Since I can't go back and tell myself that, the best thing I can do now is give you the message.

Daniele Hargenrader, AKA the Diabetes Dominator, is a nutritionist, diabetes and health coach, and certified personal trainer. She has been living with type 1 diabetes for almost 25 years, diagnosed in 1991. Daniele founded Diabetes Dominator in 2009 with the intention of serving those who are looking for a path to turn a perceived adversity into an advantage through the Diabetes Dominator system and the Six Pillars of Total Health. She helps individuals from all walks of life to think, eat, and move in ways that allow them to achieve a quality of health and life that they previously thought unattainable.
Daniele began her YouTube interview series, Unleash Your Inner Diabetes Dominator, in early 2015 in order to showcase as many positive role models in the diabetes community as possible. She wanted to clearly demonstrate that there are endless inspirational examples of the fact that living with diabetes should never be the reason we don't chase after our dreams and passions in life. Check out over 30 awesome interviews here: youtube.com/824daniele She is an international speaker, has presented at Fortune 100 companies and top-ranked hospitals and universities, and has dedicated herself to teaching people how to live the life they imagined through optimal health. Daniele ballooned up to 200 pounds a few years after her diagnosis and the unexpected and sudden death of her father. She also battled depression and a binge eating addiction. Through these adversities, she eventually took herself from obese to athlete. Daniele currently lives in Philadelphia (with an imminent move to southern California) with her husband, Bill, and their two cat children, Kitty and Frankie.
