How a Honey Bun Almost Took Me Out

The humorous yet real story of being diagnosed and living with Type 2 Diabetes

by Renea L. Moss

This ain't your doctor's brochure.

When Renea L. Moss got her Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, she didn't expect her first reaction to be sneaking a honey bun like it was contraband. One bite later, she almost passed out-and thus began a wild, painful, and oddly hilarious journey toward health, healing, and letting go of toxic snacks (and habits).

This book is a deeply personal, laugh-through-the-pain memoir-meets-survival guide that spills the real tea on the symptoms no one talks about: the peeing, the itching, the weight loss and gain, the vision changes, the ashy skin, the swelling, and the emotional rollercoaster of managing a chronic illness.

With chapters like Sex, Skin & Sugar, The Clapbacks, Breaking Up With Wingstop, and The Honey Bun Survival Kit, Renea offers readers both truth and tools-plus humor, hope, and a playlist to cry-dance to.

This book is for the ones who feel unseen in their diagnosis. For Black women, for caregivers, for the newly diagnosed and the quietly struggling.

It's for anyone who's ever said, "Wait-why didn't anyone tell me THAT happens with diabetes?"

Because we deserve more than statistics-we deserve stories.
