About
A voice born from real experience.
Albert Putnam is an author and Type 2 diabetes advocate whose debut book turns lived health struggles into a warm, cautionary tale about awareness, courage, and second chances.
I wrote this book because I wanted people to feel seen — not lectured — about the quiet warnings our bodies send us.
Albert Putnam is a debut author whose voice emerged from necessity — from the kind of moment when you realize your own body has been sending warnings you chose not to hear. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after years of symptoms he brushed aside, Albert did what any natural storyteller would do: he wrote about it.
Drawing on the familiar rhythm of a childhood nursery rhyme, Albert crafted a cautionary tale that feels less like a health book and more like sitting across from a friend who has been through it all and wants to make sure you don't have to go through it the hard way.
His mission is awareness — not alarm. Albert believes that the most powerful health tool isn't a medication or a diet plan. It's a story told with honesty and heart, by someone who has lived it.
Selected praise
“A witty, warm, and deeply important book that everyone — diabetic or not — should have on their shelf.”
